In the summer of 2008, the life of a 36-year-old man, Narinder Singh, was tragically cut short in Las Vegas, Nevada. On the morning of Wednesday, July 16, 2008, Singh was at his place of work, the Guru Express Mini Mart located at 6698 Sky Pointe Drive, when he was fatally shot. The incident that led to his death unfolded around 8 a.m., shattering the morning quiet of the neighborhood.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, police identified a suspect in the case.
Law enforcement began searching for 26-year-old Vicente Alvinez, who had been an employee at the convenience store. Reports from the time indicated that Alvinez had been fired from his job the night before the deadly shooting. Authorities released a description of the vehicle Alvinez was believed to be driving, a white 1987 Mazda RX-7, as they sought information from the public on his whereabouts.
Despite the initial identification of a person of interest, the case of Narinder Singh's murder grew cold over time. Years later, his death would be listed in a database of unsolved homicides, with the suspect noted as unknown. This suggests that the initial suspect was either never apprehended or that the investigation could not definitively link him to the crime, leaving the case unresolved. The official record of this tragic event now stands as an unsolved murder, leaving a lingering sense of injustice for the untimely death of Narinder Singh.
