Dane Searcy, a 25-year-old Black man, was found dead in the backyard of a Red Bay Way residence in Las Vegas on the evening of October 15, 2009. An autopsy determined a penetrating gunshot wound to the right buttock as the cause of death, and his death was ruled a homicide.

Residents Richard and Martin Saterstad initially told police the incident began as a masked, drug-related home invasion and that Martin fired a shotgun several times as intruders fled. Investigators noted inconsistencies: Searcy’s body showed rigor mortis consistent with having died earlier than the brothers’ account, the brothers delayed calling 911 citing illegal marijuana grow rooms on the second floor, and a caller allegedly warned the brothers someone was coming after the shooting.

Both Saterstad brothers were arrested and booked on murder and drug possession charges but were later released because formal charges had not been filed. Does anyone have information about Searcy, the residence on Red Bay Way, or contacts who might help investigators close this case?
