On the afternoon of March 27, 2020, Edgar Monzon-Serrano, a 22-year-old Hispanic man from North Las Vegas, was shot and killed on Shoshone Lane in Henderson. The Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the chest. Police received calls about a shooting around 2:20 p.m., and Monzon-Serrano was found deceased at the scene.

Investigators say the killing followed a drug deal that went wrong. Edgar and his brother, John, were led to the location by two men. According to police reports, one of those men, identified as Hector Rosales, told Edgar to get out of the vehicle or he would be killed. A struggle ensued; Rosales allegedly fired several shots, killing Edgar. John sustained minor head injuries after being struck with an object. Neighbors reported seeing a bearded man with bushy hair and a white compact vehicle; a backpack left at the scene reportedly contained nearly 5,000 grams of suspected cocaine. Authorities identified Jose Cortez and Hector Rosales as responsible; on December 21, 2020, Jose Cortez was arrested on a warrant charging open murder with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit murder, and a warrant for Hector Rosales had been issued in August 2020.

Did anyone in the area witness Edgar or his brother before they arrived on Shoshone Lane?
