Jose Uel Hernandez was 16 when he was shot and killed in Las Vegas on the night of September 21, 2014. He had been brought to the United States from El Salvador by his mother to escape violence and was a passenger in a Honda sedan driven by his 17-year-old cousin after dinner. While stopped at a red light at Sahara Avenue and Decatur Boulevard, another vehicle pulled up alongside carrying four men. One of them made what appeared to be a gang-related hand gesture and questioned the Honda’s occupants about affiliation. Without provocation, at least one person in the other car opened fire.

Jose was struck while looking away and talking to his cousin. The cousin drove to a relative’s house, where emergency responders found Jose in the driveway with multiple gunshot wounds; he died at University Medical Center. Family and police say Jose had no gang involvement.

Did anyone see or hear anything that night at Sahara and Decatur that could help Jose’s family and investigators?
