On August 8, 2024, 31-year-old Darin Algee Jr. was fatally shot while driving southbound on Interstate 15 near Flamingo Road in Las Vegas. The shooting occurred at about 7:45 p.m. as Algee was traveling with his wife, Lasha Bowie, and their 5-year-old son. An unknown assailant fired multiple shots at the family’s vehicle, which then crashed into the center median. Algee sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Algee, originally from Dallas, Texas, had moved to Las Vegas earlier in the year with his family. He was a father of five, three of whom have autism, and was described by relatives as devoted to providing for and protecting his family. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department opened an investigation but initially reported no leads on the suspects or their vehicle. A GoFundMe was set up to support his widow and children, and funeral services were held in Dallas at the Golden Gate Funeral Home in early September.

If anyone has information about the shooting on I-15 that evening or saw suspicious activity near Flamingo Road, please come forward to assist the investigation.
