On the morning of October 7, 2009, 37-year-old Shane McElroy was found dead outside his home on Upper Falls Court in Las Vegas after a domestic dispute escalated from the house into the garage and onto the street. Shane had arrived home about 2:30 a.m., reportedly intoxicated, accused his wife Ericka McElroy of infidelity, and placed two rifles in his vehicle. The couple, married about four years and separating at the time, shared an 8-year-old son.

Ericka McElroy, then 25, said a struggle over a shotgun in the garage ended when she gained control of the weapon, moved outside, and fired one shot into Shane’s chest after he followed and tried to take the gun from her. She told police she feared for her life and described a history of abuse during the relationship. Police found Shane dead at the scene and Ericka was arrested and initially charged with murder with a deadly weapon; she was held without bond.

At a later court appearance she was released after the Clark County District Attorney’s Office said it had not yet filed formal charges and was reviewing the case, including the possibility of self-defense. Does anyone have information about the events that night, the relationship, or the couple’s home on Upper Falls Court?
