Over the last two weeks on the east side of the valley, there has been an ongoing series of armed robberies where three suspects have been involved in street robberies and carjackings. In one of the carjackings the suspect was described as a black male adult armed with an AR rifle. In this event a black Dodged Durango was taken from the victim. Two of the suspects were taken into custody on June 13, 2018 after an attempted robbery where the victim was shot. On June 14, 2018 at approximately 3:52 a.m. an LVMPD patrol officer noticed a black Dodge Durango parked on Radwick Drive just north of Owens Avenue. The officer observed a black male asleep behind the wheel and the engine running. The officer also saw an AR15 rifle on the front passenger seat. The officer retreated to his patrol vehicle and called for more units and additional resources to include K9 and air support. Efforts to contain the vehicle were implemented to include deploying spikes in front of the suspect’s tires. The officers were positioned to the rear of the suspect’s vehicle. Prior to engaging the suspect via the bullhorn with instructions to exit the vehicle, he awoke and drove off away from the officers. The suspect then made a U-Turn and accelerated towards the officers. Multiple officers fired their weapons as he approached. The suspect’s vehicle did collide with one of the patrol vehicles. Medical personnel were immediately summoned and they declared the suspect deceased on scene. This is the 8th officer involved shooting for 2018. Per LVMPD policy, the identity of the officers involved will be released after 48 hours.
