Deven Mays, a 30-year-old tattoo artist and father of six, was fatally shot during what police describe as a robbery that went wrong on the evening of March 30, 2026, in northwest Las Vegas near West Ann Road and Interstate 11. Mays had met a supposed buyer to sell a quarter-pound of marijuana after arranging the transaction on Instagram. He was in his vehicle with his wife, Brianna Benevedes, and their 3-year-old son when the buyer, identified as 18-year-old Miles Spivey, entered the car and allegedly produced a gun. A second armed man then approached the vehicle and witnesses reported a demand for the drugs before shots were fired.

Mays was struck in the chest and died at the scene; his wife was wounded in the leg and their child in a car seat was physically unharmed. Spivey turned himself in after his attorney contacted police and faces charges of murder, robbery, and child abuse. A second suspect, Daequan McGee, was identified on surveillance footage by a relative, faces the same charges, and has an active warrant; he was reportedly on juvenile parole for a prior armed carjacking in which Spivey was co-defendant.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the suspects, or the location that could help investigators, please come forward.
