Thomas Romero, 25, was shot dead just before 7:30 a.m. on July 11, 2018, at a self-service car wash on North Eastern Avenue in Las Vegas. Security-camera footage shows Romero at the wash next to a stolen black Ford Expedition when two men, later identified as Fidel Miranda, 22, and Rene Nunez, 30, were present. The video reportedly captures Miranda approaching Romero and opening fire, with Nunez drawing a weapon and also firing.

After the shooting the two men spoke briefly, boarded the Expedition and fled. Romero was taken to University Medical Center and died hours later of multiple gunshot wounds. Police described the killing as suspected gang-related and began searching for the SUV. About two hours later officers located a matching vehicle, pursued it, and were fired on by the occupants. The Expedition crashed into a wall at an elementary school. Miranda exited and was fatally shot by police while attempting to flee; Nunez, the driver, was wounded, taken into custody and later booked on murder and related charges.

If anyone witnessed Romero that morning or has information about the events at the car wash or the Expedition’s movements, please come forward.
