Violence erupted Wednesday night in a Walmart parking lot ending with one man stabbed to death.

Police say the 24- year-old Oscar Hernandez was stabbed in the leg and then run over by Jose Torres-Rodriguez. Police say the dispute began when Hernandez’s shopping cart hit Torres-Rodriguez’s car at the Walmart located at Boulder Highway and Nellis Boulevard.

Hernandez was transported to Sunrise Hospital where he later died.

On the night of February 5, 2009, Metro Officers responded to reports of a shooting on Del Sueno Drive in east Las Vegas. When officers arrived, they found three people shot — two of which were dead at the scene. The third victim was transported to Sunrise Hospital where she recovered from her injuries.

Homicide detectives responded to the scene and determined that 42-year-old Ricky Shadoan went to his estranged wife’s parent’s house on Del Sueno after he had been served divorce papers earlier in the day. Shadoan and his wife began arguing at the side of the home when Shadoan pulled out a gun and shot her in the chest.

After being shot, she ran to the back of the house where her father, 61-year-old Richard Green, pulled her inside. Shadoan was able to enter the home and continued to fire his weapon. He shot Green in the chest, killing him.

Shadoan then chased his wife and shot her at least four more times before eventually turning the weapon on himself.

The wife was able to flee to a neighbor’s residence where they summoned help.

The couple have two children who were in the residence at the time of the shooting. They were unharmed.

Both Shadoan and Green were found deceased at the scene.

Just after midnight on February 1, 2009, Metro Police got a call reporting that a man had been shot outside of the Olive Mediterranean Grill and Hooka Bar on Sunset Road.

When officers arrived, they found 21-year-old Brandon Gahagan suffering from a gunshot wound. EMT’s were called and pronounced Gahagan dead at the scene.

A second man drove himself to UMC and was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He said that he was shot outside the restaurant. A third man was transported to Sunrise Hospital with wounds relating to a fight. He was treated and released.

Detectives responded to the scene and determined that 23-year-old Carlos Orellana was suspected of shooting both men. Orellana was last seen fleeing the scene with a gun in a white 2008 Toyota car. He is considered armed and dangerous.

Metro Officers responded to a call of multiple shots fired near Maryland and Tropicana. Once they arrived, they found 26-year-old Emanuel Bowie dead in an alleyway from multiple gunshot wounds.

Detectives determined that there was a dispute between Bowie and unknown suspects prior to the shooting. Detectives are still looking for witnesses and have no suspect descriptions at this time.

Metro Police Officers responded to the 4500 block of E. Lake Mead after getting calls of shots fired. Officers arrived on the scene and discovered three men shot inside an apartment. All three were transported to UMC, where 21-year-old Jorge Lopez-Ramierz was pronounced dead.

The remaining two victims were treated and released from the hospital.

Detectives have determined that there was a dispute at the apartment over some stereo
equipment that resulted in the shooting.

Metro Officers were sent to an area behind a shopping center after getting calls of a man shot. When they arrived, they found 60-year-old Jose Gonzalez-Chavez shot multiple times. He was transported to UMC where he died a short time later.

According to witnesses, an African American male and an African American female were seen fleeing the scene. No other details have been released.

Metro Officers responded to an apartment complex on Spyglass Hill after getting a call from a citizen who said they went check the welfare of two friends, only to find them dead. 

When officers arrived, they entered the apartment and found 28-year-old Issac Jones and 21-year-old Amy Randall dead from gunshot wounds.

The investigation revealed that the pair had recently moved into the apartment. There are no suspects in this case.

In the early morning hours of August 25, 2008, EMT’s and police responded to a call of a man down at the intersection of Nellis and Sahara. When they arrived, they found 35-year-old Harold Polk suffering from a gunshot wound to his head.

Polk was transported to UMC where he was treated. He survived and remained in local hospitals until his death on January 6, 2009.

The Clark County Coroner’s Office determined that Polk’s death was the result of the gunshot wound and ruled his death a homicide.

Police say Mr. Polk appears to be homeless. He left a convenience store on Nellis and Sahara about a half hour before he was shot. He was wearing a black t-shirt with yellow printing saying, “I stood up for Skeeter,” and black pants. Shortly thereafter, Polk was discovered on the ground.

Anyone with information about Mr. Polk’s death is urged to call CrimeStoppers at (702) 385-5555.

On the afternoon of December 31, 2008, Metro Officers responded to a stabbing near Lamb and Desert Inn. Officers arrived at the scene and found 46-year-old Dennis Borero lying in a driveway deceased from a stab wound to the neck.

Police say there was a disturbance between Borero and suspect which resulted in the stabbing. The suspect is possibly a homeless man known to frequent the area.

On the morning of December 9, 2008, a person called 911 and reported concerns about the welfare of two elderly women who lived in a home at King’s Row Trailer Park. The caller said that she had received a disturbing piece of mail from them and could not contact them.

Homicide detectives investigated and found that Kinch had been shot. Jeannie Twigg was arrested for murder with a deadly weapon and booked into the Clark County Detention
