On the night of November 27, 2023, a domestic dispute inside a Summerlin home in Las Vegas ended with the death of 70-year-old Manuel Velasquez. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department dispatch audio captured a struggle and what sounded like a gunshot after Manuel’s wife called 9-1-1 about a fight between Manuel and their 28-year-old son, Isaac Velasquez. The wife fled to a neighbor’s house for safety and left the line open; officers later also received a call from Manuel saying his son had shot him.

Police found Manuel on the master bedroom floor with multiple gunshot wounds; medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. Isaac fled on foot but was located hiding two blocks away and taken into custody; officers recovered a Glock 9mm handgun nearby. Isaac was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and charged with open murder with a deadly weapon and domestic battery, held without bail as of late November 2023.

If anyone knew Manuel, his family, or witnessed activity in the Horseback Circle area that night, please share what was seen or heard with investigators.
