Julian Gibbs, a 38-year-old Black/African American man, was found unresponsive inside his vehicle after officers were dispatched to what was first reported as a single-vehicle crash at Cheyenne Avenue and North Fifth Street in North Las Vegas. The incident occurred around 2:24 a.m. on Sunday, October 26, 2025. Emergency personnel attempted life-saving measures, but Gibbs was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Clark County coroner later determined Gibbs died of a gunshot wound to the head, and his death was ruled a homicide. Investigators say the collision was a consequence of the shooting. Detectives from the homicide and major collision investigation units are handling the case, and no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the events leading to the crash is asked to contact the North Las Vegas Police Department.
