Construction workers putting up traffic control barricades in the area of I-215 and West Tropicana first found they believed to be a jersey inside the storm drain. Upon closer examination, they
found the victim and called police.

Medical units were called and Lopez was determined to be deceased.

Homicide investigators believe the victim may have been involved in an altercation a short time before the discovery of the body, and was possibly chased inside the storm drain where he was killed by multiple gunshot wounds.

Anyone with information concerning this crime are urged to contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Unit at 828-3521 or crime Stoppers at 385-5555.
