In the summer of 2020, the life of Gregron Lavelle McCoy, a 38-year-old Black/African American man, was tragically cut short in Las Vegas, Nevada. On August 7, 2020, McCoy was a victim of gun violence. Remembered affectionately as Greg, he was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and had made Las Vegas his home since 2014. Those who knew him recalled his infectious smile and his readiness to lend a hand to others.
The incident that led to McCoy's death involved a gun battle that also left two
other individuals injured. The Clark County Coroner's office later identified McCoy as the deceased victim of the multiple shooting. He was a father to four children who were left to mourn his sudden and violent passing. His family and friends described him as a joyful and easygoing person who deeply valued his loved ones.
In the wake of the shooting, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department opened an investigation into the homicide. However, details regarding the circumstances of the shooting have remained limited. To date, there has been no public identification of any suspects, and no arrests have been announced in connection with the death of Gregron Lavelle McCoy. The case remains an ongoing investigation as his family and community continue to await justice and closure.
