Phillip Lewis, a 44-year-old Black / African American man, was killed in a drive-by shooting just before midnight on July 1, 2023, in east Las Vegas. The shooting occurred at approximately 11:54 p.m. in front of a 7-Eleven on Boulder Highway near South Lamb Boulevard when a black sedan approached and multiple rounds were fired from the vehicle.

ShotSpotter registered 28 rounds. Responding officers found three people with gunshot wounds; Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene. A 28-year-old man suffered an ankle wound and a 21-year-old woman had serious torso injuries that required surgery and was later reported stable. The black sedan fled before police arrival, and homicide detectives are treating this as a drive-by shooting.

No arrests have been announced and the suspect or suspects remain unidentified. Anyone with information about the shooting or the vehicle is asked to contact investigators.
