Richard Najera, 24, was killed in Las Vegas in the late hours of May 29, 2015, after a confrontation on Fremont Street near Oakey Boulevard. The attack was described as gang-related: Najera was identified by a group associated with Youngsters Taking Kontrol as a member of rival Barrio Naked City.

Witnesses described the suspects’ vehicle as a Honda Accord; officers located the car and pursued it. Two occupants — driver 18-year-old Yors Cuete Garcia-Mier and passenger 17-year-old Nicholas Pedro Silent Cortes — were taken into custody after the vehicle was abandoned. Three other suspects were later arrested: 21-year-old Jeiszon Smiley Valles, believed to be the gunman, 18-year-old Benjamin Habit Hernandez, and Miguel Tripps Salazar. Hernandez told detectives he joined the initial beating but remained in the car during the shooting. All five were indicted on murder with a deadly weapon, robbery with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy.

Does anyone have information about Najera’s activities in the Fremont Street area that night or about the suspects’ movements?
