On July 19, 2018, 32-year-old Keith Friese, a White disabled Army veteran originally from Minnesota, was shot and killed in the parking lot alley of the Fun City Motel near the Las Vegas Strip after a verbal dispute with a man who lived at the motel. Surveillance footage shows the other man, identified as 29-year-old Spencer Trevathan, initially on a second-floor balcony speaking with Friese below. Trevathan came down the stairs, shoved Friese with both hands, and after Friese pushed back, Trevathan drew a handgun from a hip holster and fired one shot into Friese’s chest. Friese, who was unarmed, stumbled away and later died at University Medical Center about 20 minutes after the altercation despite aid from Trevathan and bystanders.

Treva than was arrested at the scene by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers and charged with murder. The cause of the confrontation remains unclear and the two men are not believed to have known each other beforehand. Does anyone have information about Friese’s travels or what led him to the Fun City Motel that afternoon?
