Dijon Snowden, 31, was killed in a shooting inside an apartment on Royal Crest Street in Las Vegas on December 1, 2022. Snowden was struck multiple times in the torso after a dispute escalated into gunfire; a woman in her 20s was also wounded and taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. The Clark County coroner’s office later ruled Snowden’s death a homicide.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified 18-year-old Jayda Jones as the primary suspect. Detectives cited witness statements, video footage from a phone at the apartment before the shooting, and Jones’ social media posts as part of the evidence; one post reportedly showed Jones with the same handgun used in the shooting. Investigators recovered the weapon two weeks before Jones’ arrest after it was found in another person’s possession at the Rio. Jones was arrested in April 2023 on charges of murder and battery and was held without bail after initially saying the shooting was accidental and then declining to answer further questions.

If anyone has information about what happened at the Royal Crest Street apartment that night or knew Dijon Snowden, please come forward to assist the investigation.
