A birthday night for 37-year-old Anthony Anderson ended in a Las Vegas parking lot in the early morning of June 1, 2026. Anderson had been drinking heavily at the Dive Bar with his girlfriend and his 26-year-old roommate, Jordan Garcia. The girlfriend said the three had been affectionate earlier and she agreed to be the designated driver.

Around 4 a.m. in a shopping center lot on South Maryland Parkway near Flamingo Road, a dispute started when Anderson insisted on driving and Garcia tried to persuade him to let the girlfriend drive. The argument escalated into a physical fight. The girlfriend saw the two men tussling on the ground, separated them, and then saw flashes in her mirror she believed were from a gun. Seven rounds were fired; Anderson was shot, taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, and pronounced dead. The coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Garcia was arrested and charged with open murder. The handgun recovered at the scene belonged to Anderson and was reportedly shared by the roommates. Garcia was booked at the Clark County Detention Center without bail and invoked his right to an attorney; his next court appearance was set for June 9.

Did anyone at the Dive Bar or in that parking lot see what sparked the fight or the moments just before the shots were fired?
