John Donald Valin, a 46-year-old Caucasian man, was shot and killed on September 5, 1985, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He and a female companion were seated in a 1983 Ford Ranger parked behind the Bungalow Bar on Boulder Highway when an unknown assailant fired several shots through the truck’s rear window. Valin was struck multiple times and died at the scene; his companion was shot once in the head and survived but was unable to identify the shooter.

Detectives learned Valin and the woman had been involved in an altercation inside the Bungalow Bar shortly before the shooting, and an earlier, separate altercation had occurred at Lucille’s Lucky Seven lounge nearby. No witnesses to the actual shooting have come forward, and no arrests have been made. Anyone with information about John Donald Valin’s murder is asked to contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Section or Crime Stoppers.
