Xavier D. Steen Jr., 34, of Henderson, Nevada, was shot after a traffic dispute on January 1, 2021. Officers were called to Sunset Road and Valle Verde Drive at about 6:30 a.m. after reports of a crash and gunshots. Steen, who had been driving a Ford Fusion, was found with gunshot wounds to his legs and taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he later died on January 15, 2021. The Clark County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide due to complications from the lower-extremity gunshot wounds.

Despite his injuries Steen called 911 and gave a partial plate and a description of the vehicle as a black Nissan sedan with a woman in the passenger seat, and he later provided a detailed description of the shooter. Detectives recovered surveillance video showing a car matching that description and used phone and vehicle records to develop leads.
