Donielle Lamone Thompson, a 30-year-old Black man, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest behind a vacant building near West Cheyenne Avenue and Jones Boulevard in Las Vegas on Tuesday afternoon, March 9, 2021. People working nearby reported hearing gunshots and seeing a man on the ground; officers arrived shortly before 1:30 p.m. and Thompson was taken to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The Clark County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Initially there were no identified suspects and the motive was unclear. Less than a month later, on April 9, 2021, 51-year-old Eric Fleming was arrested and charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon. Court documents say investigators tied Fleming to Thompson by threatening text messages about a drug-related debt, by cell phone records showing texts from Fleming stopped the night of the shooting, and by GPS data placing Fleming’s phone in the parking lot where Thompson was found. Fleming’s record reportedly includes prior convictions for robbery with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon, and drug trafficking.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that afternoon or know Thompson’s whereabouts in the days before March 9?
