The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Section is actively searching for three male suspects wanted in connection with a fatal armed robbery that occurred on October 16, 2026. The incident took place in the 3400 block of East Flamingo Road, near the intersection with Pecos Road, at a commercial business in the east valley. According to preliminary findings, the three individuals entered the establishment with the intent to commit an armed takeover robbery. During the confrontation, the victim, an adult male, engaged in a physical struggle with one of the perpetrators. This altercation resulted in gunfire, striking the victim in the upper torso. Despite life-saving interventions by emergency medical personnel, the victim succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Immediately following the shooting, all three suspects fled the storefront on foot before police units arrived. LVMPD officers from the Southeast Area Command cordoned off the area and initiated a door-to-door video canvass of the surrounding strip malls and residential streets. Crime scene analysts have processed the interior for evidence, including bullet casings and DNA, and are enhancing surveillance footage from adjacent retailers. The identities of the deceased victim and the three suspects have not yet been publicly released. The victim's identification is pending family notification by the Clark County Coroner’s Office. Police are urging anyone with information regarding the robbery or the suspects to contact the LVMPD Homicide Section at 702-828-3521 or email homicide@lvmpd.com. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Crime Stoppers of Nevada at 702-385-5555. The investigation remains active as detectives continue to analyze digital evidence and canvass the area for witnesses.
