A fight that began with fists in an alley near East Flamingo Road and Palos Verdes Street in Las Vegas ended with the death of 22-year-old Joseph Harrison. The shooting occurred on August 22, 2021; Harrison was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center and died of a gunshot wound to the torso. The Clark County coroner’s office ruled the death a homicide.

Witnesses say the confrontation started as a fistfight. One witness reported that the other man, later identified as 25-year-old Moufassa Haulcy, produced a firearm. Harrison challenged him to put the weapon down and fight, and Haulcy allegedly shot him. Witnesses saw two people running away after the shooting, and there was a brief pause before additional shots were fired; who fired those rounds was initially unclear.

Haulcy presented himself at police headquarters and was arrested on August 23, charged with murder and conspiracy. Investigators later identified a second person; an arrest warrant for 28-year-old Randy Ramsey was issued November 1, 2021, and he was arrested on February 2, 2022, on murder and conspiracy charges. Anyone with information about Harrison or the shooting is asked to come forward.
