Aaron Rivera was 22 when he was killed in a Las Vegas apartment in the early hours after March 26, 2018. Neighbors and roommates heard a heated argument coming from the bedroom he shared with his 21-year-old wife, Jennifer Yanez, and later gunshots. A roommate who returned after 1 a.m. looked through a window and found both Rivera and Yanez on the bedroom floor with gunshot wounds to the head. Aaron was pronounced dead at the scene; the coroner ruled his death a homicide. Yanez was alive, transported to University Medical Center in critical condition.

Roommates and family described a history of domestic turmoil between the couple, and investigators noted signs of a struggle in the bedroom, including a broken mirror. A roommate reported hearing Aaron plead no, no, no just before shots were fired. While recovering, Yanez told detectives she shot her husband during an argument and then shot herself; she was charged with murder with a deadly weapon.

If anyone has information about the couple, their time at Woodhaven Apartments, or that night, please share what you know.
