Christopher Brown, 42, was found lying in the roadway near East Sahara Avenue and Van Patten Street in Las Vegas on March 22, 2021, after ShotSpotter alerted police to gunfire at about 2:15 a.m. He had multiple gunshot wounds and died after being taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.

In early May 2021, authorities arrested 32-year-old Deandre Gathrite and charged him with murder in connection with Brown’s death. Gathrite is described as a felon with an extensive criminal history and had previously been charged in 2018 in the shooting death of Kenyon Tyler in the same area; that earlier charge was later dismissed. Police have not disclosed motive or the specific evidence linking Gathrite to Brown’s shooting, and the investigation remained ongoing.

If anyone has information about Christopher Brown, the shooting that night, or activity in that neighborhood around March 22, 2021, please come forward.
