In the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, November 16, 2025, 25-year-old Macy Stephens of Las Vegas was found dead in her crashed vehicle on Dean Martin Drive near Warm Springs Road. Responding officers discovered that the single-vehicle collision was not the primary cause of the emergency call: Macy had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the torso and was pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner later ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound, confirming the shooting preceded or coincided with the crash.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigators said Macy had been driving before the impact and opened a homicide investigation. Detectives examined the damaged car, reconstructed her route, and sought witnesses and camera footage, but released few public details about motive or how the shooting occurred. Two days after the crash, detectives identified 40-year-old Andrew Garza, already in custody on an unrelated drug charge, and rebooked him on a murder charge in connection with Macy’s death; police did not disclose how he was linked to the shooting or whether others were involved.

Macy’s name has also appeared in online memorials noting she was lost to gun violence on November 16, 2025. If anyone has information about Macy, her movements that night, or cameras or witnesses near Dean Martin Drive and Warm Springs, please contact LVMPD Homicide or Crime Stoppers.
