On October 20, 2024, around 3 p.m., police responded to a shooting at a convenience store on the 3700 block of Paradise Road near Twain Avenue. Officers found 60-year-old Darrnell Worthy and a woman suffering gunshot wounds. Worthy was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead; the woman was hospitalized in critical condition.

Surveillance shows a blue Chevrolet Silverado, driven by 20-year-old Eric Morales, was involved in a minor collision with a Kia Soul driven by Worthy at Sands Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard. Morales did not stop and went to the convenience store with a female companion. Worthy and his passenger later entered the store and confronted Morales about the hit-and-run; Worthy punched Morales in the throat. Morales then grabbed Worthy by the throat, pushed him to the ground, produced a handgun and shot Worthy in the back as he tried to rise, firing multiple times before fleeing.

Detectives found Morales’s vehicle concealed under a tarp with the plate removed, observed Morales reattaching the plate and driving away, and later stopped and arrested him. He faces charges including open murder with the use of a deadly weapon, attempted murder with the use of a deadly weapon, and robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, and is being held without bail. Did anyone witness the collision or the confrontation at the store who can add details?
