On the evening of November 29, 2016, 20-year-old Joshua Deshawn Lee was found dead at an apartment in The Covington at Coronado Ranch, 7800 S. Rainbow Blvd., Las Vegas. Metropolitan Police officers responding to a separate call heard gunfire from another building, investigated, and were led to the scene by 49-year-old Michael Gardenhire, Joshua’s father, who confessed to shooting his son.

Officers located Joshua at the apartment; he had died of his injuries at the scene. Gardenhire was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Center and charged with one count of murder with a deadly weapon. Reports say Joshua had recently moved in with his father while struggling with depression; family members described ongoing temper problems and frequent arguments between the two.

Joshua’s sister Jasmine said her brother was friendly, smart, outgoing and that the family was devastated. A funeral was planned for December 10, 2016, in Compton, California, and the family established a GoFundMe to cover expenses. Does anyone have information about Joshua’s life in Las Vegas or about the events that night?
