Juan Rodriguez, 31, was found dead in the driver’s seat of a vehicle on July 31, 2022, in the 4900 block of East Cartier Avenue in Las Vegas, near Nellis Boulevard and Carey Avenue. What began as a report of a suspicious vehicle became a homicide investigation after an examination showed Rodriguez had sustained a fatal gunshot wound.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department continued the probe for months. On March 1, 2023, authorities arrested 44-year-old Erec Jimenez in Arizona in connection with the shooting. Jimenez was booked on an open murder charge and was awaiting extradition to Las Vegas. Investigators have not released a motive or described any relationship between Jimenez and Rodriguez, and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone knew Juan Rodriguez or has information about what happened that day, please share what you know with investigators.
