Nelson Javier Navarijo-Padilla, 22, was shot and killed around 1 p.m. on Friday, November 25, 2016, inside an apartment complex at 2108 Sunrise Avenue in Las Vegas. His body was found in a walkway between two small apartment buildings near Fremont Street and Eastern Avenue. The Clark County coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Police said they knew Navarijo-Padilla from prior encounters and that his history involved gangs and drugs. Investigators found a handgun on a living room couch and blood and a sponge that appeared to have been used to clean the scene. A witness reported hearing a gunshot inside the apartment and then seeing a woman, identified as 24-year-old Porshay Banks, drag the victim’s body out the front door and leave it on the sidewalk.

Banks was arrested and charged with accessory to murder for allegedly moving the body; she denied involvement in the shooting and said she had been asleep and didn’t hear the gunshot. The person who fired the shot had not been identified or taken into custody.
