James Bogar Lepe, a 19-year-old Hispanic/Latino male, was shot and killed in Las Vegas on the evening of December 27, 2020. He had gone with his mother to his sister’s apartment in central Las Vegas to confront the sister’s boyfriend over alleged abuse. During the confrontation the boyfriend produced a firearm and shot Lepe in the chest; the wound proved fatal and the Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide.

After the shooting the suspect fled and the Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation. In the weeks after the incident authorities urged the person who fired the shot to come forward, and no arrests or specific publicly identified suspects were reported.

Does anyone have information about that night or about the person who left the scene?
