On the evening of September 9, 2014, the life of 23-year-old Derrell Martrise Carr, a Black male, was violently ended in a shooting at a Las Vegas apartment complex. The incident occurred at the Harbor Island Apartments on East Harmon Avenue, where police were called to the scene of a double homicide.
Officers discovered Carr and another man deceased inside an apartment, both having suffered from gunshot wounds. A third man at the residence was also shot but survived his injuries.
He was able to flee the apartment and alert a security guard, which led to the police being notified of the deadly assault.
Investigators at the time believed that three suspects were involved in the shooting. The prevailing theory was that the assailants and the victims knew each other and that the motive was likely related to a dispute over money or property. The suspects were reported to have fled the scene immediately after the shooting.
In the years following the death of Derrell Martrise Carr, there has been no publicly available information regarding any arrests made in connection with the case. The identities of the suspects have not been released, and the case appears to have gone cold, leaving the families of the victims without closure.
