On February 26, 2022, a shootout inside Manny’s Glow Ultra Lounge in the Commercial Center of Las Vegas left 33-year-old Demetreus Beard dead from multiple gunshot wounds. The incident was reported about 3:15 a.m. after an argument between two individuals; Beard was the sole fatality and 13 others were wounded.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigators used surveillance video from inside the lounge and tips to identify a primary suspect, 44-year-old Lee Wilson. He was arrested and booked on suspicion of open murder and later charged with 15 counts, including 12 counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon. Wilson pleaded not guilty to all counts at his first appearance.

A homicide detective testified that roughly five shooters were inside the lounge that morning and that investigators were working to identify others involved. If anyone has information about those present at Manny’s Glow Ultra Lounge that night, please come forward.
