Ruben Garcia was 36 when he was fatally shot at a convenience store in the 1700 block of Euclid Avenue in Las Vegas on July 1, 2021. His killing was tied to a larger spree of violent robberies and shootings that had occurred in the days before, and investigators linked Garcia’s death to the other crimes through ballistic matches: cartridge cases from his scene matched those from other recent shootings, including two other homicides.

Police say a stolen vehicle connected to the spree was recovered and investigators found a COVID-19 vaccination card with the name John Carrillo inside; a fingerprint from the car also matched Carrillo. Eyewitness accounts and the forensic links led to Carrillo’s arrest after another fatal shooting on the same day as Garcia’s death. Carrillo was charged in the killings of Garcia, Abraham Acosta, and Miles Smith.

Was anyone who knew Ruben in east Las Vegas around July 1, 2021 able to help fill in his last hours or provide information about that convenience store incident?
