On the evening of December 1, 2025, 29-year-old Christina Kelly was fatally shot in the carport area of an apartment complex on the 4200 block of Arville Street, near Flamingo Road in Las Vegas. Metro Police say officers arrived around 8:30 p.m. after reports of an illegal shooting and found Kelly suffering from fatal gunshot wounds; a baby carrier was found nearby and she had been holding a child at the time of the attack. Investigators recovered 13 spent cartridge cases at the scene.

Authorities identified 41-year-old Richard Watson as the alleged perpetrator; he fled the scene with the couple’s two young children but was located and taken into custody hours later and the children were recovered. Watson was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and appeared in court the following Wednesday, where a judge ordered him held without bail. He faces charges listed as open murder, two counts of child abuse or neglect, and owning or possessing a gun by a prohibited person. The District Attorney’s office was scheduled to consider formal filing of charges at a hearing the next week.

Does anyone have information about Christina, her family, or the events on Arville Street that night?
