A family barbecue in North Las Vegas on Honey Vista Lane ended in tragedy in the predawn hours of May 28, 2023, when 32-year-old Demarkie Montez was shot during an argument with his older brother, Marcus Montez. Witnesses heard gunfire shortly before 4:45 a.m., saw a car speed away, and police found Demarkie with gunshot wounds to his back. He was taken to University Medical Center and later died of those wounds.

Investigators focused on Demarkie’s brother after a witness identified Marcus Montez as the shooter. About two months later, Marcus, 33, was arrested and charged with murder and booked into the Clark County Detention Center, held without bail. Records referenced a prior conviction in 2007 in which Marcus pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter with a deadly weapon in the death of his stepfather.

Does anyone have information about the May 28 gathering or saw activity near Honey Vista Lane that morning?
