In the late afternoon sun of a Las Vegas Saturday, a life was tragically cut short. Nickey Zarwood, a 24-year-old male from Philadelphia, was at the Oasis Bay Apartments on May 9, 2015, when a verbal dispute escalated into fatal violence. The argument was with another man, the driver of a sports car, that quickly turned deadly.
The unidentified man exited his vehicle and fired a single gunshot, striking Zarwood.
Despite his grave injury, Zarwood managed to run a short distance before collapsing near the apartment complex's office. Emergency services were called, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital, but the single gunshot wound proved to be fatal.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department immediately began an investigation into the homicide. According to their initial findings, the suspect was described as a light-skinned Black or Hispanic male. He was seen driving a grey or black sports car with tinted windows. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, no arrests were made, and the suspect remained at large.
The investigation into the death of Nickey Zarwood was launched, leaving his family and friends to mourn his sudden and violent passing. Law enforcement officials appealed to the public for any information that could lead to the apprehension of the person responsible for the young man's death, hoping to bring a measure of justice to a life ended far too soon. As of the latest available reports, the case remains an open investigation with no publicly identified suspects or arrests.
