Clayton Wesley Bronson was 18 when he was shot and killed inside his southwest Las Vegas home on the evening of May 22, 2014. A Sierra Vista High School senior planning to study computer science and robotics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, he died of multiple gunshot wounds after a family dispute that police described as a domestic disturbance between siblings.

Their mother, Wendy Bronson, said the brothers had been arguing and that she had planned to send 15-year-old Turner Craig Bronson to a wilderness camp in Texas the next day for behavioral issues. On the day of the killing, a fight escalated after Clayton prevented Turner from going to his girlfriend’s house; the mother intervened, went to her room, and then heard a gunshot. She found Clayton wounded in an upstairs hallway; while she was on the phone with 911, Turner approached and fired a fatal shot to Clayton’s head, then hid the revolver behind couch pillows and waited for police.

Turner was arrested and charged as an adult with first-degree murder and was initially held without bail. Court proceedings later determined he was incompetent to stand trial and he was ordered to be sent to a mental health facility. If anyone knew Clayton or has information about the family or the events that night, please share what you know.
