On November 17, 2020, 40-year-old Elio Saucedo was shot while sitting in the driver’s seat of his vehicle at a car wash on West Charleston Boulevard in Las Vegas. He was at the car wash with his wife, who was in the car and not physically injured but witnessed the shooting. A white sedan pulled up and shots were fired from that vehicle, striking Saucedo multiple times. He was taken to University Medical Center and died of his injuries.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police investigators determined the attack was not random and said Saucedo knew the shooter. Police identified 44-year-old Thomas Bermudez as the suspect and launched a search. On November 20, 2020, officers located Bermudez at a residence on Sacks Drive. After calling for him to surrender, detectives entered the home and found Bermudez dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound; the Clark County coroner later ruled his death a suicide. With the suspect deceased, the investigation into Saucedo’s killing was effectively closed.

If anyone saw the white sedan or was at the West Charleston car wash that afternoon, please share what was observed.
