A search-and-rescue team in eastern Las Vegas found a body in a sleeping bag on September 20, 2019. The victim was identified as 47-year-old Raul James Salazar, a Hispanic man described by his brother as a dedicated soccer coach who loved and cared for children. Investigators concluded Salazar had been killed elsewhere and his body moved to a remote desert area off State Route 147; the Clark County coroner later ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Homicide detectives focused the investigation quickly. On September 24, 2019, 19-year-old Michael Miller was arrested on Stacey Avenue and charged with Salazar’s murder. Reports said Miller had been living with Salazar at the time of the killing; Miller’s uncle said he had never heard his nephew mention Salazar. Miller was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and held without bail.

Does anyone have information about Salazar’s final days or about Miller’s relationship with him?
