Tyrese Lashawn Traylor was 18 when he was shot and killed on the evening of September 4, 2018, at the Sportsman’s Royal Manor apartments in east Las Vegas near Boulder Highway and Tropicana Avenue. An argument among a group of people escalated into gunfire; three people were struck. Traylor suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another 18-year-old survived with injuries, and a third person was taken to hospital in critical condition. The Clark County Coroner ruled Traylor’s death a homicide.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police investigators recovered a rifle in a nearby trash can they believed was used in the shooting, but the shooters fled and no arrests or public suspect descriptions have been released. The investigation remains ongoing. If anyone has information about who was involved that night, contact investigators with tips.
