On October 27, 2016 a friend checked on a southwest Las Vegas apartment at the Union Apartments on South Hualapai Way and found 20-year-old Nehemiah Neo Kauffman and his 21-year-old girlfriend Sydney Land dead inside. Both victims had been shot in the head at close range and were believed to have been dead at least a day before they were found. There were no signs of forced entry.

Investigators identified Shane Suga Valentine as a person of interest; he is a convicted felon who reportedly had a history with Kauffman. Police say Valentine had allegedly fired into Kauffman’s mother’s home on October 8, 2016, and text messages between Valentine and Kauffman included threats. Authorities have also said they believe two male suspects may have been involved.

If anyone knew Nehemiah or Sydney, or has information about who entered that apartment in late October 2016, please come forward to investigators.
