In the early morning hours of October 11, 2016, David Teel, a 38-year-old Caucasian male, was walking to a bus stop on his way to work in Las Vegas, Nevada. A recently married veteran, Teel was alone near Ogden Avenue and 15th Street when an argument was heard, followed by the sound of a gunshot.
When authorities arrived, they found Teel deceased at the scene. An investigation determined he had sustained a fatal shotgun wound to his neck.
Police believe that Teel was the victim of a robbery that turned deadly, possibly because he resisted his assailants.
The investigation into David Teel's murder was hampered by a lack of evidence. There were no surveillance cameras in the immediate vicinity of the shooting, and no witnesses came forward with detailed descriptions of any suspects. Despite the efforts of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, no arrests have been made in connection with his death. The case remains open and unsolved, leaving his family and community without answers.
