Sean Joseph Carroll was 59 when he was found fatally shot in his bedroom at the Riviera Mobile Home Park in Las Vegas on August 23, 2020. Officers responded to a report of a shooting at about 5:53 p.m. in the 2000 block of Palm Street; medical personnel pronounced Carroll dead at the scene. The Clark County Coroner ruled the cause of death gunshot wounds and classified the death a homicide.

The LVMPD Homicide Section’s investigation identified a neighbor, 52-year-old Beverly Kiewert, as the person who entered Carroll’s mobile home and, after an argument in his bedroom, produced a handgun and shot him multiple times. Kiewert was taken into custody and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges including open murder, murder with a deadly weapon, and burglary while in possession of a firearm; she was held without bail pending a scheduled hearing.

The motive for the confrontation has not been established. If anyone knew Sean Carroll or has information about what happened that evening, please contact the LVMPD Homicide Section or Crime Stoppers.
