On the evening of July 31, 2015, a dispute over a marijuana transaction in the central Las Vegas valley turned fatal when 33-year-old Rene Ernest Flores-Guevara was shot in the head inside an apartment at the Hills Lodge on Karen Avenue near Maryland Parkway. Officers found him around 6:30 p.m.; he was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center and died of his injuries on August 7.

Police say the shooter demanded a refund for the marijuana purchase and fled the scene immediately after the gunshot. Investigators focused on 21-year-old Rio Stephone Jones as the primary suspect after surveillance footage from a nearby convenience store showed Jones with two others, Sarai Ramsey and Marquez Herrod, shortly before the shooting. Tips identified the people in the video, and detectives found that Jones moved to Chicago and Ramsey to Oakland; Herrod was not charged.

Jones was located and arrested in Chicago, extradited to Las Vegas, and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a murder charge in connection with Rene Flores-Guevara’s death. Did anyone in the area see activity at the Hills Lodge that evening or recognize the people in the surveillance footage?
