On the evening of July 30, 2026, in Las Vegas, 36-year-old Angel Robles stopped his car near Upland Boulevard and Jones Boulevard after seeing a woman selling flowers being robbed. Robles got out to intervene and was shot during the confrontation. Mortally wounded, he drove a short distance and crashed into a palm tree. He was taken to University Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Police arrested 28-year-old Rodger Harrison III a few blocks from the crash scene. Harrison was charged with open murder, robbery with a deadly weapon, and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, and is being held without bail at the Clark County Detention Center. In a recorded statement to police he said Robles sprayed him with bear mace, punched him, and that he had picked up a bouquet from a bucket rather than stealing flowers. Harrison has been assigned a public defender and a preliminary hearing is scheduled.

Robles is remembered by his family as a devoted father of six and a T-ball coach who would help others. Does anyone have information about the robbery or witnessed what happened at that corner that night?
