A planned meeting for a marijuana deal in east Las Vegas turned fatal on May 14, 2024, when 19-year-old Ammir Smith Rhodes-Foreman was shot inside an apartment complex on the 300 block of Sturgeon Lane, near Nellis Boulevard and Stewart Avenue. The shooting occurred about 10:20 p.m.; gunfire erupted during the transaction and Rhodes-Foreman was struck. He was pronounced dead inside the complex after officers arrived and the shooter had already fled.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department later identified and arrested 21-year-old Jeremiah Smith, who was booked into the Clark County Detention Center. He faces charges including one count of murder, one count of conspiracy to murder, and two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon. No additional information about motive or other suspects is provided in this account.
