David Baker, 60, of Las Vegas was shot to death inside a third-floor apartment at the Siegel Suites, 500 E. Bonanza Road, on November 17, 2021. Police received a call at 11:48 p.m.; officers found Baker with gunshot wounds to the chest and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Baker had been in a quarrel with a neighbor, 36-year-old Derick McGruder, over a belief that Baker was involved with McGruder’s fiancée. McGruder was arrested the next day after being found hiding behind a dumpster in the complex; officers reported he had injuries to his hands and blood on his shoes. Surveillance reportedly shows a man wearing clothing similar to McGruder’s near the dumpsters one minute after the shooting.

Detectives searched six dumpsters taken to a transfer station and recovered a black Springfield XD 9 mm firearm that matched cartridge casings from the scene. McGruder was arrested on suspicion of murder and was scheduled for a status check in Las Vegas Justice Court. If anyone knows Baker or has information about that night, please come forward.
