A landlord-tenant dispute in a Las Vegas house ended in fatal violence on May 29, 2025. At about 4:45 p.m. in a residence in the 3600 block of North Campbell Road, 39-year-old Steven Lucchesi was found in the kitchen, lying face down with multiple gunshot wounds to his back. He was pronounced dead at the scene after a 911 call from another tenant.

Police identified 37-year-old Christopher Rainey as the suspect. Rainey was one of several tenants living in the home that Lucchesi both owned and occupied; officers say Lucchesi had been attempting to evict Rainey for unpaid rent. A verbal altercation over the eviction escalated, and another roommate reported hearing loud bangs shortly after their conversation. Investigators report close-contact injuries and bullet impacts beneath the victim, and recovered a loaded Glock 45 from a backpack in Rainey’s bedroom with rounds matching cartridges found in the kitchen. Rainey was arrested at the scene and booked on suspicion of open murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and he made an initial court appearance in the days after his arrest.

Are there any neighbors or witnesses who saw the eviction attempt or the moments before the shooting?
