Jyion Marvin Lee Alston, a 17-year-old Black male, was fatally shot in North Las Vegas on September 16, 2023. Officers responded about 2:10 p.m. to the 20 block of Webb Avenue, near Interstate 15 and West Owens Avenue, and found Alston with multiple gunshot wounds; medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. The Clark County Coroner’s Office confirmed his death was due to those wounds.

Early in the investigation police released no information about suspects or motive and appealed to the public for help. Months later, on May 28, 2024, prosecutors charged a 15-year-old identified only as Bradley; he was 14 at the time of the shooting and was booked on suspicion of open murder with a deadly weapon. Authorities say the shooting followed a gun exchange at an apartment complex near Owens Avenue and that the firearm was described as a ghost gun.

Anyone who knew Jyion, was in the Webb Avenue or Owens Avenue area that afternoon, or has information about the shooting is asked to contact North Las Vegas Police or Crime Stoppers.
