Byron Amerson, 38, was fatally shot in May 2022 near the intersection of Decatur and Charleston boulevards in Las Vegas. Police were called about multiple shots at 3:56 p.m.; officers found Amerson with gunshot wounds and he was taken to University Medical Center, where the Clark County coroner’s office later ruled his cause of death as gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

Surveillance video reviewed by police shows Amerson arriving at a CVS parking lot, exiting his car, and being confronted by his cousin, 38-year-old Jonathan Bolton. Bolton drove into the lot, circled, and approached Amerson. A physical struggle followed; Bolton drove away with Amerson momentarily caught in the vehicle window. Amerson freed himself, ran, and was chased before being shot in the back while on the median. One of the bullets also struck a vehicle in the area.

Bolton was located on Interstate 15 in Jean, Nevada, and taken into custody; he admitted to shooting Amerson but declined to explain the motive, saying that would be addressed at trial. Amerson had an unrelated 2015 arrest mentioned in connection with a separate incident. Does anyone have additional information about Amerson’s last movements or the confrontation at the CVS parking lot?
