In the late afternoon of February 13, 2015, a verbal dispute in a Las Vegas apartment complex tragically escalated, ending the life of 35-year-old Che Obi Eaddy, a Black / African American male. The fatal encounter began when a man knocked on Eaddy's door in the 5700 block of Missouri Avenue. An argument erupted between the two men in a walkway near the apartment.
The heated exchange culminated in gunfire, and Eaddy was struck in the torso.
He was found lying in the walkway of his apartment complex shortly before 5 p.m. and was later pronounced dead from the gunshot wound. The Clark County coroner's office officially ruled his death a homicide.
Immediately following the shooting, police began their search for the individuals responsible. Investigators described the suspected shooter as a man in his late 20s to early 30s with black, shoulder-length dreadlocks. They also noted the presence of a second man who may have been with the shooter, described as having short-cropped hair and wearing dark-colored clothing. The two men were reportedly seen leaving the apartment complex in an older model white two- or four-door sedan.
Despite the descriptions of the suspects and their vehicle, no arrests have been made in the years following Eaddy's death. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's investigation into the homicide remains open. Authorities have not released the names of any suspects, and the case continues to be an unsolved chapter in the city's records, leaving a family without answers and a community awaiting justice.
