Fatal shooting
Three people have been arrested in a Sunday robbery and fatal shooting in the western Las Vegas Valley, Metro Police said today.
Two men have been booked on charges of conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery with a deadly weapon and felony murder. A third juvenile has been booked on conspiracy to commit robbery, attempted robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, robbery with use of a deadly weapon and murder with the use of a deadly weapon, police said.
A 19-year-old man, identified as Dominique Evans, was shot and killed about 2:25 a.m. Sunday at a residence at 3410 Edenville Drive, near Desert Inn and Cimarron roads, police said.
Evans and his girlfriend had arrived at the house when a black car drove up behind them and a man approached Evans, demanding money, police said. The man then beat the 19-year-old and shot him once in the lower torso. His girlfriend managed to escape.
Matthew Dennis Laneave, 19, and Brian D. Gonzalez, 20, both of Las Vegas, were booked into the Clark County Detention Center, police said.
The juvenile has been booked into the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center.
Metro investigators learned that the same three involved in this incident allegedly tried to commit a similar crime moments before Sunday's shooting and robbery in the same area. There were no injuries in that incident, police said.
Anyone with information is being asked to call Metro's Homicide Section at (702) 828-3521, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.

Nice, young punks robbing, beating, shooting, and killing and the older ones molesting and sexually abusing. What the hell is going on. Time to start exterminating these scum of the earth. Time to get back to public hangings. I will volunteer to kick the chair out from under their feet.
Interesting to see what is going on out there. As the economy gets worse so do the crimes.
wht about a mandatory military draft ?
I hope that they all pay the ultimate price for their actions, throw the book and plug them in! Society needs to quit slapping these slugs on the wrist and severly punish them, as well as all the criminals in our town.
Seattle_guy, I dont want these scums in my military. I have enough problems with insurgents, dont want to worry about "freindly" fire.
Sounds like some kids that wont get the chance to pollute our gene pool anymore, too bad they had to take someone out of this world who probably was living a decent life.
Illegal aliens committing the crimes Americans just won't do anymore.
...and next week on "Anchor Babies Gone Wild"...
I will say that Bubba and friends will enjoy the fresh talent pool offered. These three will be become the newest toys on the block and will do our County some good. For as much as I hate to admit it, I can honestly say this is one quality about Democrats that I can support, the sexual behavior behind the bars that really does benefit us the taxpayers, we pay little support to house these three, they won't have any off spring that won't ever be in the system, and the Bubba will be real happy.
I would like to see the men and women that raised these monsters so I could see if it was their upbringing or something else that went wrong.
labdaddy: good one!
The courts take to long and money. Do what they did in the 50s take them to the desert.
LOSERS!
I wish Las Vegas would band all the people that does all these crimes.They go to jail get out and do the same thing over and over.I love Las Vegas and enjoy staying downtown where the Real las Vegas is.I have to keep looking around for people that want to rob or do harm to me,and do not make eye contact with people,they are hooker or you got a smoke.I thank the police for being Downtown,they are doing a great job.
CLEAN UP LAS VEGAS
What is that first guy like 12 years old? He looks like Beetlejuice with that shrunken head. Little punks...
