On the evening of December 1, 2023, a gunman opened fire on a homeless encampment near Sandhill Road and Charleston Boulevard in northeast Las Vegas. Police said the shooter had been dropped off by a black SUV near a freeway overpass, walked into the camp, fired on multiple people, then fled to a waiting vehicle. Five people were struck; Ashley Burrell and Timothy Brenton later died of their wounds and three others were injured. Responding officers transported the wounded to University Medical Center as investigators searched for those responsible.

Detectives described the attack as targeted and soon focused on a trio of suspects. On January 5, 2024, police arrested 31-year-old Cristobal Omar Perez and 21-year-old Kylee Au Young, alleging Perez was the shooter and Au Young acted as a getaway driver while a third suspect remained unidentified. Court records show the case moved forward in 2025. Does anyone have information about Burrell, Brenton, or the encampment that could help clarify what led to this attack?
