Dasjan Vandal Winn, 35, a White/Caucasian male, was killed late on December 29, 2024, after a suspected road-rage encounter on South Jones Boulevard near Alta Drive in Las Vegas. Around 11:45 p.m., a caller told dispatch they were driving a wounded friend to University Medical Center; officers met them there, and medical staff pronounced Winn dead. The investigation and subsequent records identified him as the victim and listed the manner of death as homicide from a gunshot wound to the head.
Detectives determined that gunfire had been exchanged between two pickup trucks during the confrontation. After the shooting, the other vehicle headed south on Jones. Police released imagery and asked the public to help identify a dark-colored, possibly blue, Chevrolet pickup truck viewed as a vehicle of interest.
Neighbors told reporters that investigators were also looking into a man who ran through a nearby yard shortly after the shots, and that the clash appeared to begin as a verbal dispute between occupants of the two trucks before escalating. Gun violence databases that catalog incidents across the country recorded Winn’s death with the circumstances noted as a drive-by, road-rage shooting.
Police appealed for tips through the homicide section and Crime Stoppers, and early updates from local outlets into January 2025 continued to describe the suspect as at large while investigators sought the Chevrolet pickup. No subsequent public statements indicated an arrest or identified suspect by name in the case.
