Fifteen-year-old Jeffry Garcia, a Hispanic/Latino male, was shot and killed in northeast Las Vegas in the early morning hours of October 19, 2024. Noise complaints had brought police attention to a loud house party in the 3800 block of Idlewood Avenue just after midnight, and witnesses reported gunfire before officers arrived.

Officers found Jeffry near a house with an apparent gunshot wound; medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene and the Clark County Coroner’s Office confirmed cause of death as a gunshot wound. Homicide detectives say the shooting appears to have happened as Jeffry was walking away from the party, and that occupants of a vehicle who had been at the party opened fire and then fled.

Suspects and the vehicle remain at large and the investigation is ongoing. If anyone has information about the shooting, contact the LVMPD Homicide Section or Crime Stoppers.
