David Pettis, 20, was found dead on December 8, 2011, in the northeastern part of Las Vegas. Metro officers discovered his body wrapped in plastic in the 5400 block of Reflex Drive around 10 a.m. The Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide caused by a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators developed a suspect and issued an arrest warrant for 42-year-old Pedro Morones-Verdin. Pettis had been living with Morones-Verdin in North Las Vegas and reportedly sold drugs for him in exchange for heroin and a monthly payment. A housemate, Cortney Sears, told police a fight between Pettis and Morones-Verdin on December 3 ended when Sears gave Morones-Verdin a gun and he shot Pettis in the head; Sears said Morones-Verdin then wrapped the body in plastic, placed it in a car trunk, and left for Mexico. Police found signs of a thorough cleanup of a large amount of blood at the residence.

Does anyone have information about Pettis’s last days, the North Las Vegas home, or movements of Pedro Morones-Verdin around early December 2011?
