Officer Marc Alan Kahre, 34, was killed in the line of duty on October 11, 1988. A veteran of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department who began with the agency as a cadet on October 2, 1973 and became a commissioned officer in 1975, Kahre was serving as a motorcycle officer when events began that morning with reports that 37-year-old Lester James Eierdam had fired shots at 1501 James Street, the home of Eierdam’s ex-girlfriend Stacy Grats.

Police later received a report that Eierdam was pointing a gun at a citizen at a 7-Eleven near Nellis and Charleston. Officers broadcast a description of his beige 1980 Dodge Diplomat. Around 12:10 p.m., Officer James Hulsey located the vehicle near the 4900 block of Chantilly Drive; Kahre joined the follow. Eierdam stopped suddenly, jumped out and fired a revolver across his car’s roof, striking Kahre in the forehead. Hulsey returned fire, wounding Eierdam, who nonetheless fled, collided at Lamb and Charleston, and was taken to the hospital with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the temple; Eierdam later died. Kahre was pronounced dead at the scene and left a wife and two sons, ages ten and eight.

Were there witnesses in the Chantilly Drive area who recall the chase or the moments after the shooting?
