Marcus Jeremiah Dumpson, 31, was fatally shot on October 24, 2020, on Marlin Avenue near Mojave Road and Stewart Avenue in Las Vegas. Multiple calls about a shooting came in around 6:30 p.m.; officers found Dumpson with a gunshot wound to the abdomen and he was taken to University Medical Center Trauma, where the Clark County Coroner’s office ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of an ongoing neighborhood dispute that included several prior arguments, many over a barking dog. On the day of the killing a physical altercation occurred between the victim and a neighbor described as a black woman in her mid-30s. During the fight she allegedly produced a gun and shot Dumpson. Neighbors tackled her and took the weapon, but she escaped by getting into a car and driving away, leaving two children who were placed in the care of Child Protective Services.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police had not released the suspect’s identity and asked anyone who was at the scene or has information to contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or crimestoppersofnv.com.
