On May 29, 2020, 21-year-old Dylan Duke Dean was shot and killed in the parking lot of an apartment complex at 3950 Mountain Vista St., west of Boulder Highway in east Las Vegas Valley. Officers were called about 7:50 p.m.; by the time they arrived the two men involved had left. The Clark County coroner later ruled Dean’s death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the neck.

Multiple witnesses described an argument that escalated into violence while Dean, his girlfriend, their young child and a friend were waiting for a ride. According to statements in the case, 28-year-old Luis Lopez-Angeles approached the group, a physical confrontation broke out after Dean moved in, and Lopez-Angeles shot Dean. A man who was with Lopez-Angeles reportedly told investigators Lopez-Angeles had said he does not fight, he shoots, and later said Lopez-Angeles fled and hid rather than turn himself in.

Lopez-Angeles was arrested June 26, 2020, and charged with murder with a deadly weapon; at the time he had two other active cases. Does anyone have additional information about what led to the confrontation that night or who else was present?
