A backyard barbecue in downtown Las Vegas ended in a homicide on January 17, 2022. Da'Morian LaDell Turner, 28, was at a gathering in front of a residence at 915 Morgan Avenue when an argument erupted after another man allegedly touched a woman. Witnesses said the other man, 29-year-old Lamont Butler, left the party and returned shortly thereafter armed with a firearm.

Police were called at about 1:50 p.m. and found Turner suffering from gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Clark County Coroner’s Office determined the cause of death to be gunshot wounds to the head and ruled the death a homicide. Three days later, on January 20, 2022, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police located and arrested Lamont Butler, who was booked on an open murder charge.

Did anyone who attended or lived near that Morgan Avenue gathering see what happened before or after the confrontation?
