Cordell Thrasher, 27, was found fatally shot in a Las Vegas motel room at the Howard Johnson Inn on East Tropicana Avenue in the early morning of September 8, 2021. Officers were dispatched about 3:05 a.m. after reports of gunshots and a woman screaming from the back parking lot.

Responding officers discovered a woman in her 20s with a gunshot wound; she directed them to a hotel room where Thrasher was located and pronounced dead at the scene. The injured woman was taken to University Medical Center with injuries described as not expected to be life-threatening. Investigators say an altercation inside the room led to an exchange of gunfire that struck both Thrasher and the woman. Authorities reported they were confident there were no outstanding suspects and were not actively searching for others, indicating the incident appears to have been contained to the two people in the room.

Does anyone have information about Cordell’s activities that night or knew him and can help fill in what happened?
