Kayla Harris, 24, was killed on the night of June 24, 2024, during a domestic dispute at Craig Ranch Villas in North Las Vegas. A standout basketball player at Spring Valley High School and a master’s student in business administration at Adams State University, she was home for the summer staying with her mother, Marshaya Harris, and her girlfriend, 22-year-old Jeannette Faria-Webster.
According to accounts, Marshaya’s ex-boyfriend, 48-year-old Eric Adams, visited and an argument escalated. When Kayla and her girlfriend intervened, Adams produced a gun and shot and killed Kayla and Jeannette. A neighbor, 20-year-old Christopher Munoz, who came downstairs to investigate, was also fatally shot. Adams then went upstairs and opened fire, killing Christopher’s mother, 40-year-old Amy Munoz, and his grandmother, 59-year-old Anna Munoz; a 13-year-old girl in that apartment was critically injured. Marshaya Harris was taken hostage but later escaped and sought help from police.
Officers later located Adams in a residential neighborhood; when confronted and ordered to drop his weapon he died by a self-inflicted gunshot. Adams reportedly had a lengthy criminal history including prior domestic violence arrests, and Marshaya Harris had an active restraining order against him at the time. A community vigil was held outside the complex to mourn the five victims.
