SeMauri Norris-Johnson was 17 when he was shot and killed on Halloween night, October 31, 2023, near Shadow Oak and Spotted Pony drives in North Las Vegas. According to the family’s account, Norris-Johnson, a Desert Pines High School football player, had been with a group of other teenagers in ski masks and was approaching two younger trick-or-treaters with the intent to playfully snatch their candy bags. A 16-year-old trick-or-treater reportedly produced a firearm and fired, striking Norris-Johnson; a neighbor’s surveillance camera captured him exiting a vehicle just before the shots and he died at the scene.

Coaches and teammates remembered him as a light; hundreds attended a balloon release and the football team dedicated the following season to him. A 16-year-old suspect was arrested on January 26, 2024, and charged with illegal possession of a firearm and firing into an occupied vehicle; the suspect’s identity has not been released and no murder charge has been filed. The family says they have struggled to get information, plans to seek a civil lawsuit, and wants the Clark County District Attorney to re-open the investigation.

If anyone knew SeMauri or witnessed the shooting, can you provide information that could help the family?
