Seventeen-year-old Noel Carbajal was killed on April 30, 2021, after a gunfight between two groups outside the Whitney Community Center at 5712 Missouri Avenue in southeast Las Vegas. Police received multiple calls about gunfire at 11:43 p.m.; officers found no one at the scene. Carbajal suffered a gunshot wound to his left leg that caused a vascular injury, was taken to Henderson Hospital, then transferred to University Medical Center, where he died. The Clark County coroner ruled the manner of death a homicide. A second male victim survived after treatment at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.

Investigators say the shooting began during a fight between two groups who exchanged gunfire. Several men were detained after the incident. On May 28, 2021, 28-year-old Ryk Mosley of North Las Vegas was arrested in connection with Carbajal’s death; police indicated the killing was likely retaliation for a prior gang-related shooting. Anyone with information about the fight, the people detained that night, or the events leading to Noel’s death is asked to come forward.
