Charlita Lashunda Carroll, 35, was one of three people shot to death inside a small apartment on Jackson Avenue in Las Vegas on the evening of December 7, 2015. The other victims were Morty Cornell Young and DeAndre Leggett. The coroner ruled Carroll’s cause of death a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators described the scene as showing no signs of a struggle and said the victims appeared to have been executed at close range while kneeling or lying on the floor. Drug paraphernalia at the apartment led police to consider a possible drug-related robbery motive. Witnesses reported a tall, thin man about 6 feet 4 inches wearing black running from the building and an older red or burgundy van with a tan stripe leaving the area.

In March 2016 authorities arrested 38-year-old Gerald Pointer in Chicago on unrelated charges and later connected him to the triple killing. Pointer, who had used the alias Leroy Greenwood while incarcerated at High Desert State Prison, was indicted on multiple counts including three counts of murder with a deadly weapon and robbery-related charges and was held at the Clark County Detention Center pending court proceedings.

Did anyone in Las Vegas recognize the description of the runner or the older van seen leaving that night?
