Dominique Rattler, 33, was shot and killed in east Las Vegas on the afternoon of October 4, 2024. The shooting occurred around 4:22 p.m. near Lewis Family Park at the intersection of Grass Meadows Drive and Tree Line Drive; Rattler sustained multiple gunshot wounds and the Clark County coroner ruled his death a homicide. He is survived by his wife and eight children.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police investigators arrested two people at a nearby apartment complex in connection with the killing: 19-year-old Serge Kamga and a 16-year-old whose name was withheld because of their age. Court filings say the shooting may have arisen from a drug deal gone bad after the suspects arranged to buy marijuana from Rattler. Kamga is charged with open murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery; a judge set his bail at $1 million over the prosecutor’s objection.

Funeral services for Dominique Rattler were held on October 18, 2024. If anyone knew Rattler or has information about the events that led to his death, please come forward.
