On the night of August 29, 2020, 46-year-old Hispanic man Phillip Zuniga was shot and killed near an apartment complex on Twain Avenue in Las Vegas. Zuniga was walking with his sister, 24-year-old Anthony Mitchell, and another friend when they encountered a group of men; an altercation broke out and gunfire followed. Mitchell also died and two other people were wounded.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police arrested 27-year-old Bobby Torres and 20-year-old Ivan Herrera on September 2, and both were charged with two counts of murder with a deadly weapon and two counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon. Investigators say the suspects fired seven rounds from two handguns and that both men had ties to a street gang; Herrera had prior charges including battery on a protected person and discharging a firearm, and Torres had prior convictions dating back to 2012, including a 2016 battery with a deadly weapon conviction.

Both men were held without bail after the arrests. If anyone witnessed the shooting on Twain Avenue that night or knew Phillip, please share information that could help the case.
