Roy Gaines, 66, of Mountain House, California, was found dead inside his son’s residence in Las Vegas on December 15, 2021. Family members had become alarmed after phone contact with both Roy and his son Justin abruptly stopped on the afternoon of December 14; Roy had flown to Las Vegas after Justin reported imminent eviction and financial distress.

The Clark County coroner determined Roy died from a gunshot wound to the back. Justin Gaines, 30, was not at the home when family arrived at the Sagelyn Street residence on December 15. He was located the next day by an Arizona state trooper at a rest stop in San Simon, near the New Mexico border, in a car rented in Roy’s name and with several hundred dollars believed to have come from Roy.

Justin was extradited to Las Vegas and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of open murder and robbery with a deadly weapon; he was held without bail. Does anyone have information about Roy or Justin, or about activity near Sagelyn Street in mid-December 2021?
