Edgar Palomino was 33 when he and his brother, 29-year-old Javier Rodriguez Ruiz, were shot and killed in the early morning of April 17, 2016. The two were found with multiple gunshot wounds outside a residence in the 2400 block of East McWilliams Avenue, near North Bruce Street and Maryland Parkway, and were taken to University Medical Center where they died.

Palomino had moved to Las Vegas just four days before the shooting to be closer to family. He had worked for four years at a Salt Lake City–based company and was described by a former co-worker as a great friend and awesome co-worker. He left behind five children and a girlfriend who was pregnant at the time.

Police say an argument between the brothers and another man escalated; the man produced a handgun, shot both brothers multiple times, and fled westbound on McWilliams Avenue. In the days after the double homicide, 21-year-old Julio Hernandez was arrested and booked on two counts of murder with a deadly weapon.

If anyone knew Edgar, Javier, or the circumstances outside that East McWilliams Avenue residence, please share what you remember.
