A late-night argument in Las Vegas turned fatal on August 4, 2022, when a 29-year-old man was shot in the head and killed. The victim was initially misidentified as Ziwen Song, age 30, but the Clark County coroner later confirmed the deceased was Jesus Alberto Martinez Jr. The shooting occurred about 5:36 a.m. on the 600 block of Yale Street, near Washington Avenue and Decatur Boulevard, where Martinez had been visiting a residence and was standing in the street when another man approached and an argument escalated to gunfire.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers conducting an unrelated traffic stop nearby heard the shot and quickly responded; a person of interest was taken into custody near the scene but was not immediately arrested for the murder. In July 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in San Diego arrested 27-year-old Joseph Navarro on an open murder charge in connection with Martinez’s death, pending extradition to Las Vegas.

Does anyone have information about Martinez’s movements that morning or observed activity on Yale Street near Washington and Decatur?
