On July 1, 2021, 23-year-old Andy Contreras was shot and later died at University Medical Center after a fight among employees in the northeast Las Vegas valley. Two employees had agreed to settle an earlier dispute with a fistfight on Copper Sage Street near Craig Road and Lamb Boulevard while several coworkers watched. Employee 2 had called a friend to witness the altercation.

According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department investigators, the friend who arrived—identified as 19-year-old Jonathan Lopez—pulled a gun during the fight and fired several rounds. Three employees were struck; Contreras suffered a gunshot wound to the left arm that perforated his lungs, heart, aorta and pulmonary artery and was pronounced dead. Lopez was arrested July 8, 2021, and booked on one count of open murder.

Everyone at the scene reportedly fled after the shooting except the injured Contreras, who remained. Does anyone have information about the events leading up to that lunch-break fight or the people involved?
