Last week in Henderson, Nevada, police responded to a fatal shooting following a road rage incident on the 215 Beltway. The altercation reportedly began as two drivers attempted to pass each other in congested traffic before escalating into a verbal confrontation. One driver, later identified as Tyler Johns, allegedly fired a handgun into the other vehicle, striking and fatally wounding 11-year-old Brandon Dominguez-Chavarria, who was a passenger being driven to school by his stepfather. After both vehicles stopped on the freeway, the drivers exited and engaged in a heated verbal exchange. Johns remained on the scene and allowed himself to be taken into custody by police without further incident. He has been charged with murder and other related offenses and is currently being held without bail as the investigation continues. Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader confirmed the two were “jockeying for positions” prior to the shooting. Police are not actively seeking other suspects in this case at this time, but anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact authorities.

Elsewhere in Henderson, several property crime incidents were logged during the week. Recent reports indicate an uptick in burglary, break-ins, and thefts specifically focusing on catalytic converters from parked vehicles. These crimes have predominantly occurred in east Henderson around the Green Valley and Whitney Ranch neighborhoods. Investigations are ongoing for these alleged thefts and no arrests have been announced yet. Police urge residents to secure valuables and report suspicious activity.

In a separate incident, Henderson Police responded to an attempted carjacking involving a suspect allegedly armed with a knife near West Flamingo Road and South Decatur Boulevard, just outside the city. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, officers encountered the suspect at an apartment complex entrance. The suspect failed to comply with verbal commands and reportedly brandished a knife, resulting in a physical altercation and subsequent officer-involved shooting. The suspect, whose identity has not been released, remains in critical condition. This case remains under active investigation.

There are no public requests for suspect descriptions this week, as police believe all involved parties in the major violent incidents are accounted for. No significant incidents involving juveniles were made public.

A significant trend over the past week is a continued concern with road rage-related violence on Henderson freeways and thefts targeting auto parts. Police are reminding listeners to de-escalate when driving, keep vehicle doors locked, and report suspicious behavior immediately.

Anyone with information regarding these or other incidents is urged to contact Henderson Police at (702) 267-5000. For anonymous tips, call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.
