On August 3, 2017, Trayvone Gentre Crocket, a 20-year-old Las Vegas resident, was fatally shot at an apartment complex in the east part of the city. The Clark County Coroner ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds and classified the death as a homicide.

Police identified and arrested 19-year-old Malik Kendrick, a security guard at the same apartment complex, as the primary suspect. Investigators reported Kendrick and Crocket had previously been incarcerated together, a connection noted in the police report. A woman who had known Crocket for about two weeks was also shot in the incident, suffering injuries to her left wrist and right index finger. Police say Kendrick lied to detectives about the events surrounding the shooting.

Are there people who knew Trayvone or who were at the complex that evening who can shed more light on what happened?
