On the evening of July 14, 2025, 16-year-old Mikel Hill was found with multiple gunshot wounds at an apartment complex in the 2100 block of North Tenaya Way near Lake Mead Boulevard in Las Vegas. First responders took him to University Medical Center, where he later died; the Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police initially described the victim as possibly in his early 20s before the coroner confirmed his age.

Witnesses reported seeing a suspect flee on foot after the shooting, but police have not released a detailed description. The case was referred to the Clark County District Attorney’s Office for review to determine whether the shooting could be considered an act of self-defense. Hill, known as Lil Mike, played football at Desert Pines High School. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone knew Mikel or saw activity near North Tenaya Way on the night of July 14, what information can be shared with investigators?
