Carl Chester Jr., 41, was fatally shot during a street altercation in northwest Las Vegas on May 18, 2024. The shooting occurred around 4 p.m. in the 7300 block of Prairie Falcon Road, near Tenaya Way and Smoke Ranch Road. Responding officers found Chester deceased at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds; two other people suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a hospital.

Investigators say victims were approached by several unknown individuals, a physical confrontation followed, and gunfire erupted. The suspects had fled before police arrived. Chester’s own death on May 18 raises questions about whether those alleged criminal ties relate to the shooting.
