Manuel Guadalupe Acosta-Contreras, a 36-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, was fatally shot in Las Vegas on July 30, 2014. Public memorial and record sites list his full name and dates, placing his burial in Woodlawn Cemetery in Clark County. A contemporaneous entry on Gun Memorial records his death from gun violence in Las Vegas on that date.
Coverage tied to that day’s shooting places the crime near the intersection of Fremont Street and Eastern Avenue, east of downtown. A community homicide listing that compiles police-stated locations and media summaries specifies that officers responding to gunfire found the victim near a sidewalk at the northeast corner of that intersection. Gun Violence Archive also logs the July 30, 2014 incident in Las Vegas and pins its geolocation in the same east-valley area.
Subsequent public-facing material identifies the victim by name but does not report an arrest, nor does it describe any suspects announced by police in the immediate aftermath. The Gun Memorial entry links to a now-defunct local news report headlined “Man identified in fatal shooting at Fremont, Eastern,” but neither that archived reference nor other accessible summaries indicate that a suspect was publicly named or taken into custody. Standing LVMPD homicide pages encourage tips to detectives on open cases, underscoring that some 2010s cases remain unresolved, but do not add suspect details for this killing.
In the years since, the name Manuel Guadalupe Acosta has continued to appear in remembrance and data repositories, which preserve the basic facts—his identity, age, the date, and the city—without providing further official narrative about motive or an identified assailant. Based on the publicly available record, authorities had not announced arrests or suspects connected to his death.
