Police hunt sixth suspect in slayings
Friday, May 25, 2001 | 10:19 a.m.
North Las Vegas Police continue to search for a sixth suspect in connection with a March 3 gang slaying.
A week ago detectives made five arrests as part of their investigation into the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Joe Williams.
Police are looking for Lamont Antwan "T-Wak" Graves, 21, Sgt Jim Jackson said.
Previously arrested and charged with Williams' murder at the Buena Vista Springs apartment complex at Carey Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard, were: Ashley "Face" Bennett, 27; Louis "Chew" Matthews, 19; Lailoni Morrison, 21' Jermaine "Wing" Webb, 16; and Wayne Anthony "Wacky-G" Gantt, 17.
All five are members of the Gerson Park Kingsmen, and Williams was a member of the Rolling 60s, a rival gang, police said.
Witnesses reported hearing gunfire on the afternoon of March 3, and Williams was found shot several times in front of an apartment at 2535 Morton Ave. He was taken to University Medical Center, where he died.
The feuding gangs are accused of killing at least six people, including a church deacon and an innocent bystander during a three-week stretch in late February and early March. The violence was centered in the area of Martin Luther King between Carey and Lake Mead Boulevard, where the jurisdictions of North Las Vegas and Metro Police meet.
