Paulo Viana, 62, was fatally shot while waiting at a bus stop near East Tropicana Avenue and Nellis Boulevard in Las Vegas in the early morning hours of May 4, 2022. Surveillance and witness information indicate a man in dark clothing had been following Viana; shortly before 2:15 a.m. the man approached, a brief altercation occurred, and gunfire followed. The shooter fled the scene and discarded clothing near the crime scenes.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police detectives linked Viana’s killing to another fatal shooting that had taken place weeks earlier. Publicized surveillance images and the discarded clothing generated a tip that identified 18-year-old Alonzo AJ Brown. Police arrested Brown on June 27, 2022, near a home about 300 feet from one of the other scenes; officers found two handguns on him, and one was later forensically tied to Viana’s murder and another homicide. Investigators also connected him to the January 18, 2022 death of Tevin Alhashemi.

Brown was charged with three counts of murder. In December 2022 a judge ruled him incompetent to stand trial and ordered him committed to a state psychiatric hospital until competency is restored. Does anyone have details about the bus stop area or surveillance from that night that could shed more light on the sequence of events?
