In the pre-dawn hours of January 10, 2022, 19-year-old Isaiah Tyree Williams was killed inside an apartment on South Nellis Boulevard in Las Vegas during a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department SWAT raid. Officers were executing a search warrant tied to a November homicide investigation. Williams, asleep on a couch near the front door, was awakened during a forced entry that reportedly included flash bombs; believing the entry to be a home invasion, he fired a handgun and struck two officers. Five officers returned fire, and Williams was fatally wounded at the scene.

Investigators later determined Williams was not the person sought in the homicide probe; the actual suspect, 23-year-old Wattsel Rembert, was found two days later. The Clark County District Attorney declined to file criminal charges against the officers, and the department’s internal review said officers announced their presence before entry, citing body-worn camera footage and witness statements. Williams’ family has filed a federal civil rights and wrongful death lawsuit, and his death has continued to prompt debate over tactics used when serving warrants.

If anyone has information about the raid or was a witness that morning, can you share what you saw?
