Robert Joseph Bustos II was 17 when he was fatally shot on July 11, 2016, in the parking lot of the Alterra Apartments at 2701 N. Decatur Blvd., Las Vegas. He was found with two gunshot wounds at about 6:30 p.m. The teen, described as athletic and involved in football and wrestling, had gone to buy a gun and brought $350 for the purchase.

Police say an acquaintance who was a minor set up a robbery with two other men during the transaction. After the minor took Bustos’s money and left, Bustos was left in a car with the two men; a confrontation followed and he was shot. Initial descriptions mentioned two Hispanic men fleeing the scene. In March 2018, police arrested 25-year-old Bradley Griffin and charged him with open murder, after a minor in custody implicated Griffin and said Griffin boasted about the shooting and threatened the minor.
