On September 6, 2017, 37-year-old Cynthia Alden was shot in the back of the head and found slumped on a shed outside her residence in the 3200 block of Lillis Avenue in North Las Vegas, near Pecos Road and Carey Avenue. The shooting occurred around 2:30 p.m. after an argument between Alden and her boyfriend, Toby Lara. Witnesses reported hearing Alden plead No Toby, no just before the gunshot.

Toby Lara, 26 at the time, was identified as the suspect. He was seen with blood on his hands, claimed the shooting was an accident, and did not attempt to render aid or contact authorities; he left the scene. Lara was arrested on September 7, 2017, near Harmon Avenue and Nellis Boulevard and booked on a murder charge. Police recovered two rifles and ammunition at the scene, though the specific weapon used was not immediately recovered.

Does anyone have information about the moments leading up to the argument or what was said between Alden and Lara?
