A domestic disturbance in northwest Las Vegas on March 31, 2016, ended in multiple deaths. Felicia Wimberly-Hughes, 46, and her 31-year-old son Branden Hughes were found inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds; the Clark County Coroner’s Office confirmed both died from those wounds. Concerned family members had requested a welfare check after they could not reach Felicia, and police discovered signs consistent with a violent struggle at the scene.

Officers traced the violence to Lester Hughes, who had fled the residence. When located by police he was armed and a standoff followed. During the attempt to apprehend him a police K-9 named Nicky was deployed and was shot and killed by Lester Hughes. Officers returned fire and Lester Hughes was killed. Investigators concluded Lester Hughes was the sole suspect in the killings of Felicia and Branden.

If anyone knew Felicia or Branden, or has information about the events leading up to March 31, 2016, please come forward.
