In the early morning of January 28, 2026, a 7-year-old boy in Las Vegas, Nevada, made a devastating discovery that would set in motion a double homicide investigation. He found his 31-year-old mother, Briana Flowers, and a man, later identified as 31-year-old Anfernee Pollard, unresponsive and suffering from gunshot wounds inside their home on Rowland Bluff, near Durango Drive and Mountain's Edge Parkway. The young boy bravely called 911 for help.
When officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the scene around 7:20 a.m., they found both Flowers and Pollard with life-threatening injuries. Despite life-saving efforts, both were pronounced dead at the scene. The Clark County Coroner's office later confirmed that both deaths were homicides resulting from gunshot wounds.
In the wake of the tragic event, friends and family of Briana Flowers came forward with disturbing information, painting a picture of a woman living in fear. Just a week before her death, on January 21st, Flowers had reportedly contacted police after a violent altercation with her ex-boyfriend that left her with bruises and other injuries requiring medical attention. Her family stated that the ex-boyfriend had threatened to kill her in the days leading up to the shooting. A close friend recounted how Flowers believed her ex was stalking her, even claiming to have seen someone who she believed to be him peering through her window as she slept. In an effort to feel safer, Flowers had reportedly asked friends to stay with her.
While the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the case as a double homicide, they have not officially named any suspects or made any arrests, stating that it remains an open investigation. However, social media has been rife with speculation, with some posts identifying a man named Jacob Charles from Los Angeles as the primary suspect. Law enforcement has not yet confirmed his involvement. Police have described the incident as isolated and have asserted that there is no ongoing threat to the public. The community and Briana's family are left mourning the loss and hoping for justice, while her young son navigates an unimaginable tragedy. A GoFundMe campaign was established to support him.
