On February 9, 2016, a fatal shooting occurred in the southeast valley of Las Vegas, Nevada, resulting in the death of 42-year-old Michael Allen Guinn. The incident took place in the 2900 block of Kennewick Drive, near the intersection of East Vegas Valley Drive and South Mojave Road. Police officers responded to a call at approximately 1:30 p.m. and found Guinn lying in front of a house with a gunshot wound to the chest.
He was immediately transported to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The events leading up to the shooting involved an argument between Guinn and a man and a woman in front of the house. According to Metro Lt. Dan McGrath, the argument escalated, and the pair got into their vehicle. One of them then shot Guinn once in his upper torso before fleeing the scene.
Following the investigation, Las Vegas police made an arrest in connection with the shooting. On an unspecified Friday, 17-year-old Devin Aluague was arrested at 10 a.m. at a home in the 1300 block of Cashman Drive. Aluague was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and faces one count of open murder with a deadly weapon. He has been certified as an adult in this case.
The second person who was in the vehicle with Aluague at the time of the shooting has been interviewed by Metro detectives. However, this individual is no longer being sought in connection with the shooting, according to the police release.
The coroner's office later confirmed that Guinn's death was ruled a homicide, further solidifying the criminal nature of the incident.
In summary, the death of Michael Allen Guinn was a result of a gunshot wound sustained during an argument that turned violent. Devin Aluague, a 17-year-old, has been arrested and charged in connection with the shooting, while the other individual involved has been cleared of any further suspicion by the authorities.
