On the evening of December 30, 1996, 22-year-old Jimmie Finister was shot dead at his home at 1320 N. Jones Blvd in Las Vegas. A woman knocked asking for Finister; when he answered and engaged with her, a Black man about 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall with braided hair and wearing a baggy blue jacket appeared in the doorway carrying a handgun. Finister pushed the armed man out and tried to close the door, but the gunman fired through the closed door, striking Finister in the head.

The assailant and the unidentified woman fled the scene. The incident was logged under case number 961230-1873; the investigation remains open and no arrests have been announced. Very little else is publicly known about the visitors or a possible motive.

Anyone who knew Jimmie, saw anything near 1320 N. Jones Blvd on December 30, 1996, or has information about the pair who left after the shooting is asked to come forward.
