Benjamin McCarty Jr., 49, was fatally shot on the morning of May 30, 2021, in the parking lot of the Pep Boys at 3995 E. Charleston Blvd. in Las Vegas. At approximately 11:01 a.m. an unknown person approached McCarty while he was arranging for his vehicle to be towed and opened fire, striking him multiple times. He was taken to University Medical Center but died of multiple gunshot wounds; the Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Early investigators gathered eyewitness accounts and surveillance footage from nearby businesses that suggested a targeted attack. A longtime friend, Ardlanders Gibson, was arrested and booked on charges of murder and conspiracy after a tip; Gibson denied involvement. Subsequent investigative developments identified another suspect, Michael Coleman, who was linked to McCarty’s killing and re-booked on additional open murder charges, while an unrelated man, Oscar Richardson, was later cleared in a separate case tied to Coleman.

Does anyone have information about McCarty, his activities that morning, or the parking lot at Pep Boys that could help clarify what happened?
