On the evening of October 15, 2016, in Las Vegas near Salerness Street and Shinnecock Hills Avenue, 22-year-old Kaji Goode was found in the driver’s seat of her car with multiple gunshot wounds. She was transported to University Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Her live-in boyfriend, 27-year-old Ivan Cotton, an active-duty airman stationed at Creech Air Force Base, was at the scene with blood on his hands. He called 911, first reporting that Goode had been shot and later saying she had shot herself but that it was his fault. A handgun was recovered between the seats of the vehicle.

Goode’s family described the relationship as turbulent and said Cotton was overly controlling; they reported frequent arguments and noted she had been staying at her mother’s home in the two days before the shooting, which angered Cotton. Cotton was arrested and booked on a murder charge.

If anyone knew Kaji or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
