Juan Uel Gonzalez-cruz, a 36-year-old Hispanic man, was found fatally shot in the road near the entrance to Craig Ranch Villas in North Las Vegas on the afternoon of January 22, 2019. The Clark County coroner ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. The shooting occurred around 4 p.m., a time that initially prompted investigators to consider road rage as a possible motive.

Investigators later linked Gonzalez-cruz’s killing to an earlier homicide the same day. He had been tracking a vehicle taken in a carjacking that occurred earlier, and that connection broadened the probe beyond a random act of violence. Within weeks police identified and arrested two suspects in both killings; they were charged with two counts of murder and robbery with a deadly weapon.

If anyone saw activity near Craig Ranch Villas around 4 p.m. on January 22, 2019, or has information about the carjacking and the vehicle Gonzalez-cruz was tracking, please share what is known.
