On the evening of Thursday, October 26, 2017, a dispute in a Las Vegas convenience store parking lot near East Charleston Boulevard and U.S. 95 ended in a fatal shooting. Eugene Thomas Bell, a 32-year-old Black man, was shot after a physical altercation with another man. The other man left but returned shortly as a passenger in a light-colored sedan; multiple shots were fired from the vehicle, striking Bell. The car was last seen heading west on Charleston Boulevard.

Emergency crews arrived about 9:30 p.m.; Bell was taken to University Medical Center and pronounced dead. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department described the suspect as a Black male in his 20s, thin build, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, reportedly wearing a red jacket. Appeals for information were made and the homicide investigation remains open with no public announcement of an arrest or identified suspect.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or remembers the light-colored sedan or a man in a red jacket in that area that night, please share what you know.
