Pinewood Apartments
A “stupid” argument over drugs and ensuing fight culminated early Wednesday in the shooting death of a Las Vegas man, according to Metro Police arrest reports made public Thursday.
The reports identified the dead man as Terry Lee Harris, who was shot multiple times in the head about 12:40 a.m. Wednesday in a parking lot at the Pinewood Apartments, 3540 Swenson, near East Twain Avenue.
Six people, including a woman who believes she is pregnant with Harris’ baby, were arrested on counts relating to Harris’ death and are being detained without bond in the Clark County Detention Center.
Michael “S-Dot” White, 32, Westchester, Calif., is in custody on counts of murder with a deadly weapon and accessory to murder.
Also in custody are Ricknisha Herrington, 24, Los Angeles, who believes she is pregnant with Harris’ child; Diamond Bevans, 23, Los Angeles; Denise Rainer, 25, Las Vegas; Ivory Davis, 33, Las Vegas; and Derrick Beasley, also known as Tracy Davis, 27, Los Angeles; all on counts of accessory to murder.
According to police reports:
All seven had been at a party, “smoking and drinking,” at an apartment in the Pinewood complex where Harris, known as “Mousie,” had gotten into an argument with White. Herrington told police the fight was “over something stupid.”
The argument escalated into a fight when Harris punched White. Harris then began to get “out of control and threaten everyone in the apartment.” At that point, White began asking for a gun.
Davis told police several people went outside and were arguing there with Harris. Davis said she heard several gunshots and thought Harris had been shot, but Davis would not identify the shooter.
Another witness reported hearing five gunshots, looked outside and saw Harris on the ground in the parking lot with three people running away from the scene.
After police arrived at the parking lot and found Harris’ body, they made their way to the apartment and knocked at the door where the party was reported, but no one answered. After obtaining a search warrant, a Metro SWAT unit entered the apartment to find seven people inside: the six who ultimately were arrested and a 17-year-old boy, who had been asleep.
Police were able to identify White as the shooter and the location of a weapon from statements made by the teen, who also told police the initial argument was over drugs.
"Ricnisha". When I worked in HR, that's all I needed to know. Application to the round file. Very sad, actually. Make it your middle name. Like Betty R. Whatever....
It's Okay, illegal drugs are harmless.
What a sad waste.
most people remember 25 years ago that was a nice area that many casino people lived in and called home while they settled into town---now for the last ten years no one with any sense would be caught in that area---welcome to mini LA. Things will get worse---wait another ten years!
A couple blocks away from Las Vegas Country Club. With all the nice areas of Las Vegas that have popped up (Southern Highlands, Summerlin, McDonald Rach, Seven Hills, Anthem)...why on earth would you want to be a stones throw from this area of town? Kerkorian still has a residence right off the entrance. I know when you are within the grounds you'll be OK but who the hell wants to drive one block over and be subjected to that filth?
6 upstanding individuals. Deport all of them to the desert. They've all lost their Las Vegas priveledges
Nothing like having a gun around to settle an argument.
Keep the border open, keep devaluing education, and keep shipping american jobs overseas. Soon enough the entire valley will look like this and yes, that means you too anthem as well as the highly over rated summerlin...
@robert duggan..""Ricnisha". When I worked in HR, that's all I needed to know. Application to the round file." So was your employer aware and complicit in your violation of both state and federal laws.
@olbuddy..."Keep the border open...Soon enough the entire valley will look like this.."
Walk me through your thought process here. How is the murder of a black man by six black men and women the result of "open borders." When you stub your toe do you blame Mexicans for that too?

A picture is worth a thousand words well there is a novel to written here and it is not one of good citizens. Everytime I and others question police tactics we are reminded of just what kind of scum they deal with when these kind of stories make it to print.
They need to read Bill Cosby's "Poundcake Speech". It really hits the nail on the head when describing these 6 individuals.
execute them all. tune up the electric bench.
I pray that the 6 of you never get out a life time would be to soon he didn't deserve to die like that no one does!
@bob_realist..."those responsible for halting government benefits needs to make sure these individuals, who cannot seem to control themselves, are cut off for life and are responsible for paying back any and ALL benefits they have received..."
I'll ignore the idea that their is nothing to support they received any of these benifits, and just ask if if you really think such an move would make these people MORE or LESS likely to storm your home in the middle of the night looking for some easy cash.
