Seneca Hentz was 29 and living in Las Vegas when he was shot in the head the night of Saturday, May 31, 2008. He was seated in a car in a parking lot at Washington Avenue and Rancho Drive when officers arrived about 10:15 p.m.; he was taken to University Medical Center and died there on Monday morning, June 2, 2008. The Clark County coroner later identified him by name.

In the moments before the shooting Hentz had been in a verbal altercation with a group of roughly ten males and teenagers. As he tried to drive away a shot was fired into the vehicle, striking him once in the head. Detectives at the time had not determined whether the killing was gang-related.

If anyone was in that parking lot that night or has information about the altercation or the people involved, please share what is known with investigators.
