On December 15, 2016, 20-year-old Jonathan Larkin Michael Potter was shot aboard a public bus in Las Vegas after a conversation about tattoos between his girlfriend and three young men escalated into a physical fight. Potter reportedly punched one of the group as they were leaving the bus; one of those who had stepped off, 16-year-old Royal Love-Camp, then turned back and fired a single shot into the vehicle. Potter was taken to University Medical Center and died of his wounds.

Surveillance from the bus helped identify suspects and led to tips, including one from a parole officer who recognized Love-Camp. A handgun matching the caliber used in the shooting was recovered during a search of a residence linked to him. Love-Camp, who was on juvenile parole at the time for a prior robbery with a deadly weapon charge, was later arrested and charged as an adult. He was tried and convicted of second-degree murder with a deadly weapon and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle; appeals challenging jury instructions and a justifiable homicide defense were denied.

Did anyone on the bus that night or nearby witnesses ever come forward with additional details about the confrontation?
