Kieron Hatchett was 23 when he was killed in a multiple shooting in Las Vegas on August 29, 2021. Hatchett and several friends had stayed after an after-hours restaurant party to help clean up; as they left, another car followed them. While stopped at the red light at South Rainbow Boulevard and Westcliff Drive, occupants of the pursuing vehicle opened fire. The car carrying Hatchett was struck by at least 16 bullets; three others were wounded and one of the victims drove them to MountainView Hospital. Hatchett was later transferred to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center and died that day from two gunshot wounds to the head, a death ruled a homicide.

Investigators tied the shooting to retaliation for a fatal August 13, 2021 altercation in which De’Marcco Alexander, who had been with Hatchett on August 29, shot and killed Anthony Emilian in what was reported as self-defense. An anonymous tip, business surveillance, and Snapchat archives were used in the probe. Police say Snapchat was used to identify targets and that 14 casings from three different firearms were recovered. On October 20, 2021, authorities arrested Mateo Facio, 21, Exavian Diaz, 18, and Briana Matus, 20, charging them with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and three counts of attempted murder, and alleging Diaz sent a photo to guide the attack and Matus’s vehicle followed Hatchett’s car.

Are there witnesses who were at the restaurant that night or anyone with additional surveillance who can help clarify who was in the attacking vehicle?
