Ulysses Shiyreco Thomas, a 36-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot in Las Vegas on the evening of Tuesday, October 26, 1999. He was talking on the phone in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven at 903 North Pecos Road when he was ambushed and shot in the back. After being struck he stumbled into the store and told those inside he had been shot. He was taken to University Medical Center’s Trauma Center, underwent surgery, was moved to the ICU, and later died of his wounds.

Witnesses reported two males fleeing the scene, last seen running west toward the Palm Village Apartment Complex. Descriptions vary but both were estimated late teens to early twenties, 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches; one had a medium build, short dark hair, a goatee and a large tattoo on his upper left arm, the other was slender, 145 to 160 pounds, with short dark hair. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Section investigated, but no arrests have been announced and no public motive has been released.

Does anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Ulysses have information that could help resolve this case?
