Robert Matthews, 27, was shot outside the Northpointe Apartments at 3333 N. Michael Way in Las Vegas after a confrontation near the complex entrance late on the evening of Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Two men arrived in a dark-colored four-door sedan shortly before 10 p.m.; a brief argument ensued and multiple shots were fired. Matthews was found wounded on the sidewalk and taken to University Medical Center, where he later died.

Police said Matthews and two acquaintances had been approached moments after leaving a nearby convenience store. Investigators released surveillance images and descriptions of two men who appeared to be in their 20s and said the vehicle possibly resembled a Chevy Monte Carlo with a rear spoiler and sunroof. Prosecutors later charged Keonis Lamont Davis, 25, and Laron Kinchlow, 24, alleging Matthews was killed during an armed robbery and that a passenger stepped out with a 9mm handgun before shots were fired.
