An 18-year-old identified as Zachary Roberts was shot and killed inside an elderly resident’s home on Clarkway Drive in Las Vegas in the early hours of Tuesday, January 19, 2010. Reports say Roberts kicked open the front door near Bonanza Road and Rancho Drive and stepped inside despite warnings from the resident, who used a cane and said he was not in a condition to fight. When the intruder moved further into the house the resident fired once, striking Roberts in the chest.

The Clark County coroner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the chest and police characterized the episode as a criminal preying on the elderly. Contemporary coverage noted the investigation was ongoing and did not report any arrest of the homeowner or name additional suspects.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see activity around the house that night or know the young man involved?
