In the early hours of August 17, 2024, 51-year-old Shontaz Hutchinson was found injured at the back of the Ada Brent Gardens Apartments in Las Vegas after a string of window-smashing incidents. Witnesses reported Hutchinson behaving erratically in the area of Vegas Drive and Martin Luther King Boulevard while carrying a pole, breaking windows at a nearby gas station and at the apartment complex before he was discovered with multiple cuts to his arms and a gunshot wound.

Emergency personnel transported Hutchinson to University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced deceased. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigators say Hutchinson was confronted by an individual who fired the shot that killed him, but no one has been identified as the shooter and no arrests have been announced. Authorities have been seeking area surveillance video as part of an ongoing investigation.

If anyone knew Hutchinson or has information or footage from that neighborhood on August 17, please contact investigators.
