Andre DeJuan Bryant, 33, was fatally shot on September 9, 2023, in Las Vegas. Officers responded to reports of gunfire around 9:46 p.m. in the 7800 block of Rainshower Drive, near Buffalo Drive and Spring Mountain Road, and found Bryant inside a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Investigators say Bryant, who worked as a mobile marijuana dealer, had been lured to that location under the pretense of a drug transaction. Court documents implicate four individuals—Shelton Beasley, Aren Hicks, Jacorey Magdaleno and Jonathan Smith—in the shooting. Hicks reportedly admitted that he and the others arranged the meeting and that his firearm was inoperable, while the other three opened fire. Bullets also struck a nearby residence, putting occupants at risk.

Authorities tied the killing to internal conflicts in a gang known as the Block Boy Mafia after a $26,000 robbery at a 7-Eleven on August 7, 2023, and a subsequent retaliatory murder of 17-year-old Enrique Nunez on September 1, 2023. Beasley and Hicks were certified as adults and held without bail; Magdaleno and Smith were indicted on multiple charges, including two counts of murder related to both Bryant’s and Nunez’s deaths. Bryant’s family and friends remember him as a father with a unique personality.

Did anyone in the Las Vegas area see activity around Rainshower Drive that night or have information about Bryant’s movements before he arrived?
