On May 31, 2019, 20-year-old Antwoine Daejuan Young Jr. was shot in Henderson, Nevada, and later died of gunshot wounds to the arm and chest. The first 911 calls came about 11:20 a.m. reporting a shooting near Major Avenue and Van Wagenen Street, but the actual scene was in the 300 block of Bright Sumac Court near Boulder Highway and Greenway Road. Two other people were taken to hospital; one of them was later suspected of involvement in the killing.

Investigators tied the shooting to a drug transaction. Henderson police identified several suspects: 22-year-old Joseph DeFrancisco and two teenagers, 16-year-old Tahj Simeus and an unnamed 17-year-old. Simeus was booked on murder, conspiracy to attempt robbery, and attempted robbery; arraignment proceedings were scheduled. The Clark County Coroner ruled Young’s death a homicide.

Who in the area might have information about the events on Bright Sumac Court that morning?
