On the evening of January 8, 2021, a burst of gunfire at the Harbor Island Apartments on East Harmon Avenue in Las Vegas left two men dead. Thirty-year-old Antwan Pope Jr. was found by responding officers with a gunshot wound to the head and pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, 32-year-old Sean McLemore, was taken to University Medical Center and later died. The Clark County coroner’s office ruled both deaths homicides.

Detectives reported Pope and McLemore had been involved in an altercation with another man just before the shooting. That man was described as about 6 feet 4 inches, 210 pounds, with long hair, and was seen fleeing in a vehicle after the shots. Tips led investigators to identify 39-year-old Michael Ellis; surveillance footage placed him at the complex about an hour before the shooting and showed him leaving in a car with another person after the incident. Ellis was arrested and tried on murder charges but a jury acquitted him in March 2022. The murders of Antwan Pope and Sean McLemore remain unsolved.

Did anyone in the area see the described vehicle or the long-haired man that night who hasn’t spoken to police?
