On the late evening of October 28, 2022, 38-year-old Victor Iniguez Lopez was fatally shot outside a residence on Valley Forge Avenue in Las Vegas after a dispute that began over a small sum of money for a marijuana transaction. He was taken to University Medical Center with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead.

The conflict began earlier when a friend of Iniguez Lopez gave money to a woman to purchase marijuana and the woman allegedly failed to provide the drugs. Iniguez Lopez reportedly made threatening phone calls to the woman and later went to her home that evening accompanied by his friend. A physical altercation broke out between Iniguez Lopez and the woman’s brother. As the fight was underway, the woman’s other brother, 18-year-old Yobani Fierro, arrived in an SUV and, according to police reports, fired several shots at Iniguez Lopez and at the vehicle, striking Iniguez Lopez. Fierro fled the scene.

Police identified Yobani Fierro as the suspect and he was arrested on November 8, 2022; he was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and charged with murder with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, two counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
