Do you know who murdered Gabriel Barron Camacho? Gabriel Barron Camacho, a Hispanic/Latino male, was found on the afternoon of June 6, 2001, in the back seat of his own gold 1990 Chrysler New Yorker, which had been left in the parking lot of the Indoor Swap Meet at 574 N. Eastern Ave. in Las Vegas. The call to police came at about 1:46 p.m., and responding officers identified him by name; friends knew him as “Santana.”
Public records note that the Chrysler was registered to Camacho and that he worked as an electrician for Southwest Systems.
Detectives opened a homicide investigation but, publicly, the case materials describe no identified suspect, no arrests, and no announced motive. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department still lists the killing among its open cold cases from 2000–2009, underscoring that the department has not publicly attributed the crime to any person or group. Subsequent community cold-case listings repeat the official synopsis and basic identifiers but add no developments indicating a named suspect or custody.
