A birthday party at a Chuck E. Cheese’s in Las Vegas ended in violence on the evening of December 15, 2010. Twenty-six-year-old Lance Moorehead, an African-American man, was shot in the parking lot of the restaurant at 350 N. Nellis Blvd. after a dispute that is believed to have started inside and escalated outside. Moorehead was struck in the back by gunfire, taken to University Medical Center, and later pronounced dead; the Clark County Coroner attributed his death to perforating gunshot wounds to the back.

Investigators found multiple shell casings across the parking lot and fragments from a heavily tinted car window, suggesting shots were exchanged and that a second vehicle may have been struck. Witnesses and police described the shooter as a heavy-set Black man in a blue shirt who fled east on Stewart Avenue in a white four-door sedan. No arrest is indicated in the information provided.
