On February 15, 2017, 18-year-old Larenzo Hardison was shot at an apartment on Silver Dollar Avenue in Las Vegas after an evening that began with a physical altercation. Hardison and another man fought outside over a woman; after Hardison was knocked down the two reportedly shook hands and returned to the party.

Inside the apartment Hardison called a woman he called his Auntie, later identified as 25-year-old Ericka Winn, and asked her to bring his gun. Witnesses say Winn arrived upset, punched Hardison during an argument, and as he left the upstairs apartment she was seen loading the gun. From the top of the stairs she allegedly said I will kill you, fired one shot and struck Hardison in the right eye. He was found bleeding at the bottom of the staircase and died at University Medical Center the next afternoon.

A few days later Winn surrendered to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
