On March 19, 2024, two women were found shot to death in the 2000 block of McCarran Street in North Las Vegas. Odaly E. Lopez-Diaz, 24, and Silian M. Jimenez-Bobadilla, 27, were discovered after reports of shots fired at about 6:40 a.m. Officers pronounced both victims dead at the scene; the Clark County Coroner’s Office ruled their deaths homicides due to gunshot wounds.

Friends said both women were from El Salvador and left behind young children. Neighbors described the neighborhood as having seen increased violence in recent years and said hearing gunfire was not uncommon. Homicide detectives called the killings an isolated incident, and no arrests had been announced as of the last reports. The incident was part of a rise in North Las Vegas homicides in the first quarter of 2024, driven entirely by gunshot deaths.

Anyone with information about these killings is asked to contact the North Las Vegas Police Department or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
