On the evening of November 18, 2014, 18-year-old Roland Pleasant was shot and later died after being driven to University Medical Center from the scene near Tropical Parkway and Lawrence Street in North Las Vegas. The two passengers fled to a nearby store and called for help. Police and emergency personnel found Pleasant on the ground next to his vehicle around 6:45 p.m.; he succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

Bell was identified as the suspect and surrendered to authorities on November 20, 2014. He was charged with murder with a deadly weapon, robbery with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery with a deadly weapon, and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. In May 2017 Bell pleaded guilty to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon and in July 2017 was sentenced to 16 to 45 years. Roland’s family and friends remembered him at a candlelight vigil as a sweet, funny young man who was not involved in gangs or confrontational behavior.

Did anyone who knew Roland or was in that neighborhood on November 18, 2014, see or hear anything that might add detail to the timeline?
