A night of drinking between roommates in Las Vegas ended in a fatal shooting on Sunday, November 5, 2023. Jonathan Morales-Lozada, 24 and known to his roommates as Johnny, was renting a room on Samia Court near Nellis Boulevard and Stewart Avenue when a dispute over house privileges escalated into violence.

Roommate Jose Oseguera and Morales-Lozada had been drinking the night before; Oseguera later told police both had consumed about seven beers and three shots of tequila. According to Oseguera’s statement, the argument grew after Morales-Lozada accused him of being snitched on, and Oseguera struck Morales-Lozada. Oseguera said Morales-Lozada threatened to return and harm his family, so he retrieved a handgun. Oseguera said he fired a warning shot that struck a neighbor’s car and then fired again as Morales-Lozada walked into the street, fatally wounding him. Officers found Morales-Lozada dead and Oseguera in the street with a handgun; Oseguera admitted shooting his roommate and was arrested on suspicion of murder.
