On December 31, 2015, 23-year-old Keith Childress Jr, a father of three visiting Las Vegas, was fatally shot by two Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers after U.S. Marshals located him at a relative’s home during a stakeout. Marshals had wrongly told LVMPD that Childress was wanted for attempted murder and might be armed; in fact he faced outstanding felony counts from a 2013 Arizona home invasion case and had missed sentencing.

Officers Sergeant Robert Bohanon and Officer Blake Walford fired a total of nine rounds after repeatedly ordering Childress to drop what they believed was a gun; he was holding a cellphone. Bohanon’s body camera was the only one activated. After the shooting, Officer James Ledogar released a police dog onto Childress and officers did not provide immediate medical care, according to accounts presented at review.

No criminal charges were filed. Childress’s mother filed a wrongful death civil suit alleging excessive force, denial of medical care, and municipal failures. A jury later apportioned most responsibility to Childress and awarded damages to his children.

Did anyone in the Las Vegas area know Childress or witness the events near Desert Breeze Park that night?
