Christopher Allen Downie, 23, was found shot to death in Las Vegas on February 23, 2016. Officers discovered him about 3:20 p.m. in the passenger seat of an Oldsmobile Cutlass near Desert Inn Road and Interstate 15. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was taken to University Medical Center, and died of his injuries.

Downie worked as a cook at a Japanese restaurant and is remembered by family as funny and loving; relatives named include his sister Rebecca Montague and cousin Shaelyn Everhart. Witnesses reported seeing a woman and a man flee the scene after the shots, though initial reports said police had very few leads or suspect descriptions.

On March 9, 2016, two people were arrested in connection with the killing: Angelica Echevarria, 26, and Osbelio Cordoba, 26. The motive and full circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation. If anyone knew Christopher, the people he spent time with, or saw activity near Desert Inn and I-15 that afternoon, please share what is known.
