In the pre-dawn hours of September 19, 2010, 19-year-old Eric Taybron was shot and killed in Las Vegas. Taybron and friends were walking on Viking Road near Wynn Road around 12:25 a.m. when two young men first asked about a party. The same pair later confronted the group at an apartment complex in the 3800 block of Wynn Road, and one of the suspects produced a weapon and opened fire, striking Taybron and an unarmed security guard.

Both victims were taken to University Medical Center; Taybron died of multiple gunshot wounds, while the security guard’s injuries were not considered life-threatening. Police described the shooters as two Black males, about 16 to 20 years old, both wearing red clothing. No arrests have been announced in connection with the killing.

If anyone has information about that night or remembers seeing those described individuals in the area, please come forward.
