On the evening of April 11, 2015, in North Las Vegas, 36-year-old Tyrone Ford, a Black/African American man, was found lifeless on a sidewalk in the 800 block of Cartier Avenue, near Interstate 15 and Carey Avenue. He had sustained at least one gunshot wound. The incident was part of a double shooting that left another man critically injured. Police were called to a second shooting just around the block a few minutes after discovering Ford.
Investigators believed that the two men knew
each other and that the shooting was not a random act of violence. Authorities suggested that the incident might have been a drive-by shooting. In the immediate aftermath of the event, no arrests were made, and law enforcement did not release any information about potential suspects.
Despite the initial investigation, there have been no subsequent public announcements regarding any arrests or the identification of any suspects in the years following the death of Tyrone Ford. The case remains unresolved, leaving questions about the circumstances that led to the fatal shooting and who was responsible. Information regarding the motive for the shooting has also not been released by authorities. The second victim's identity and the extent of his recovery were not publicly detailed in the available information.
