On June 14, 2022, 49-year-old Brandi Brown was fatally shot in east Las Vegas after a confrontation aimed at her boyfriend. Brown and her boyfriend had been driving to a friend’s house on Cicada Way, near Viking Road and Chutney Street, to deliver food after a power outage at their home. They encountered a group of men who intended to confront the boyfriend over a prior altercation in which he had fractured a man’s jaw with a 2x4.

The men identified in the confrontation were Travis Hennessy, 36; Steven Bower, 50; and Troy Eatman, 54. Surveillance video captured Hennessy firing at Brown’s vehicle as her boyfriend tried to flee; Eatman had blocked the neighborhood exit with a Toyota RAV4 and Bower arrived on a motorcycle. Brown was driven to a nearby home and taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead from a non-survivable gunshot wound to the head.

Arrest warrants were issued for Hennessy, Bower, and Eatman on charges of murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder. Hennessy and Bower were arrested June 29; Eatman, also known as Trouble, was arrested July 19 and booked into the Clark County Detention Center. All three remained in custody without bail and were due in court August 10, 2022.
