On the evening of February 18, 2018, 24-year-old Yaphette Johnson drove a gold Ford Expedition into the Devonshire Apartments parking lot on Vegas Valley Drive in Las Vegas and parked outside the complex office around 6:20 p.m. Surveillance video later showed a man walking up to the passenger side, pulling a handgun from his jacket, firing multiple times into the vehicle, and then fleeing. Residents reported hearing multiple gunshots that night but no 911 call was placed; Johnson’s body was found the next morning, slumped behind the wheel. The Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. Police initially described the shooting as appearing drug-related.

On March 15, 2018, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police arrested two men, 21-year-old Matthew Johnson and 20-year-old Brandon L. Webb, charging both with murder with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit murder, robbery with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery; it was not immediately clear if Matthew Johnson was related to the victim.

Did anyone in the Devonshire Apartments area see or hear anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
