Scott Anthony Hayse, 44, was fatally shot in the head on May 9, 2018, during a confrontation on the 1200 block of Melville Drive in Las Vegas. He had been working on a car with a friend when a third person arrived and a physical altercation followed that ended with Hayse’s death. The Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified and interviewed a suspected shooter who was not immediately taken into custody. Evidence developed in the inquiry raised the possibility of self-defense and was sent to the Clark County district attorney’s office for further review. No formal charges or arrests have been reported and the investigation remains open.

If anyone saw the confrontation on Melville Drive or has information about the people involved, please share what is known with investigators.
