On August 29, 1996, 22-year-old Keith Dyer was ambushed and shot 13 times just outside a friend’s home in Las Vegas while escorting a young woman to her residence. The attack was carried out by three masked gunmen; a witness, Stacie Dooley, who was also shot in the leg, said the shooters were laughing and jumping around as they fired.

The killing was part of a string of violent crimes by a trio that had earlier robbed a southern Las Vegas gun store, stealing $30,000 and 75 firearms. Police recovered blood at Dyer’s scene that later matched Tony Ray Amati, and weapons seized from the trio’s trailer were linked to the three murders. Stacie Dooley testified about the episode during Amati’s trial.

Tony Ray Amati was convicted of killing Keith Dyer and sentenced to life with a minimum term; the other two slayings resulted in acquittals for Amati. If anyone knew Keith Dyer, his whereabouts that night, or has information about the attack, please come forward.
