Rachel Lewis was 23 when a dispute outside a Yucca Avenue residence in Las Vegas ended with her being shot on November 28, 2022. She suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died the next day at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.

The confrontation began after Lewis went to intervene in an argument between her sister and the sister’s boyfriend, 26-year-old Joseph Kennard. Reports say the dispute escalated and involved Kennard’s ex-girlfriend. Witnesses and Kennard offered differing accounts; witnesses said Kennard fired a 9mm AR rifle while Lewis was fighting with the ex-girlfriend, and Kennard later told police he shot at Lewis to stop the attack and called the shooting accidental when he identified himself to officers at the scene.

Kennard was arrested at the scene on gun-related charges; after Lewis died the charges were upgraded to murder and assault and he was held without bail at the Clark County Detention Center. Does anyone have information about the incident or knew Rachel and can share details that might help clarify what happened?
