On June 8, 2018, a tragic incident occurred in North Las Vegas, Nevada, resulting in the death of 33-year-old Hasan Ameen. The incident unfolded early Friday morning at a fourplex located at 2500 Ellis Street, near the intersection of Carey Avenue and Pecos Road. At approximately 5:10 a.m., multiple gunshots were reported coming from the rear apartment unit of the complex.
Upon arrival, police found three individuals with gunshot wounds.
Hasan Ameen was pronounced dead at the scene due to a gunshot wound to the head, which the Clark County Coroner's Office later ruled as a homicide.
The two other victims, a 20-year-old man and a 13-year-old boy, were taken to the University Medical Center with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening. The shooting was part of a larger and more complex series of events, as just over 24 hours later, another homicide occurred at the same address.
On the morning of June 9, 2018, a neighbor discovered the body of Richard Brown Jr., 26, inside the same unit where Ameen was shot. Brown also died from a gunshot wound to the head, and his death was also ruled a homicide by the Clark County Coroner's Office.
As of the investigations conducted by the North Las Vegas Police Department, there were no identified suspects in either of the shootings. Detectives believed that the victims and the shooter knew each other, but they had little information about the identity of the perpetrator. The police were exploring the possibility that the second shooting might have been in retaliation for the first incident, but this remained speculative.
Despite the extensive investigation and the presence of multiple people who could potentially provide information, no arrests were made in connection with these homicides. The police encouraged anyone with information to come forward, offering the option to remain anonymous through Crime Stoppers. The contact numbers provided for tips were 702-633-9111 for the North Las Vegas Police and 702-385-5555 for Crime Stoppers.
As of the current date, there is no updated information indicating any arrests or the identification of suspects in the deaths of Hasan Ameen and Richard Brown Jr. The cases remain unsolved, with the police still seeking any information that could help in identifying and apprehending those responsible.
