On August 19, 2021, a property dispute outside a residence on the 5300 block of Rome Boulevard in Las Vegas turned fatal for 30-year-old Beau Jared Varney, a White/Caucasian man. An argument with 32-year-old Daniel Guillen became physical, and Guillen allegedly produced a firearm and shot Varney in the chest. Varney was taken to Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center, where he died; the Clark County Coroner ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound.

Witnesses detained Guillen at the scene until Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers arrived. He was booked at the Clark County Detention Center on initial counts that included open murder, carrying a concealed weapon, and possession of a stolen vehicle. Homicide detectives later developed additional information that led the Clark County District Attorney’s office to review the open murder charge, and Guillen was released on his own recognizance with conditions pending a future court date.

If anyone witnessed the dispute near Decatur Boulevard and the northern 215 Beltway, or has information about what led to the shooting, please come forward.
