A dispute over a few cases of beer at a Las Vegas convenience store ended in the death of 56-year-old Robert Lee Cook in the early morning hours of March 29, 2019. The incident occurred shortly before 6:15 a.m. at the Stateside Express at 950 Las Vegas Boulevard North. Cook, accompanied by a woman, attempted to leave the store without paying for at least three cases of beer. As they moved toward a waiting vehicle, the store manager and a clerk, 26-year-old Suse Antunez-Garcia, followed them outside and a brief struggle took place between the manager and Cook.

As Cook broke free and was getting into the car, Antunez-Garcia allegedly fired two shots into the vehicle, striking him in the lower abdomen and leg. The vehicle then drove to University Medical Center where Cook was pronounced dead at 6:56 a.m.; the Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department homicide detectives opened an investigation, and Antunez-Garcia was arrested and charged with murder later that same day.

Are there witnesses or anyone who was at the Stateside Express that morning who can add details about what happened outside the store?
