Anthony Groce, 37, was found dead in a desert lot near Bonanza Road and H Street in Las Vegas in the early morning of August 24, 2020, after residents reported gunfire around 3:15 a.m. The Clark County coroner ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. Official records spell his last name Gross, but his family says the correct spelling is Groce.

Detectives traced Groce’s movements to a 7-Eleven on Martin Luther King Boulevard, where surveillance footage showed him with 36-year-old James Smith Jr. Smith also used a debit card at the store, a transaction that helped police identify and locate him. Smith was arrested and charged with murder. Motive remains unclear; Groce’s family disputed a reported prior altercation at a gas station.

Did anyone in the area see Groce that night or recognize the man seen with him at the store?
