Keon Young was 13 when he was shot and killed on the evening of December 23, 2023, at an apartment complex on Fountain Falls Way in North Las Vegas while attending a family cookout. According to the family account, Keon walked toward the parking lot to greet his arriving father when a car pulled up; one person from the vehicle and another who jumped a wall began shooting. Keon was hit, taken to University Medical Center’s trauma center, and later died. His family says that after being shot he stood and told his mother he’d been hit.

Keon was described as a special needs teen who loved basketball, dinosaurs, Spider-Man, Godzilla and science. He was 6 feet 1 inch, had just made his eighth-grade basketball team and was looking forward to his 14th birthday in January. The North Las Vegas Police Department is investigating; family members were asked to review video with detectives and neighbors reportedly provided surveillance footage. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced.

Did anyone in the area see the car or the people who entered the complex that night?
