A late-afternoon dispute at a northeast Las Vegas home turned deadly on May 9, 2021. Responding to reports of a shooting at about 5:40 p.m., police found 37-year-old Raymie Henderson Jr. inside a residence on the 3200 block of Lava Avenue suffering from gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene and the coroner ruled the death a homicide by gunshot wounds.

Investigators traced the events to a heated text-message argument between Henderson and his girlfriend, who lived in the home with her daughter, reportedly over Henderson’s friends being there and fighting. Henderson returned to the house accompanied by 23-year-old Tiderrick Thompson. The girlfriend was in her bedroom when she heard gunfire, and investigators say a tussling between Thompson and another man occurred around the time of the shots.

Anyone with information about what happened at the Lava Avenue residence on May 9, 2021, or who saw Henderson, Thompson, or others there that afternoon is asked to come forward.
