On the evening of December 12, 2017, 25-year-old Tyrone Johnson was shot and killed inside a trailer on the 3600 block of Twain Circle in Las Vegas, near Twain Avenue and Nellis Boulevard. Two men were reportedly let into the residence, went to a bedroom and shot Johnson multiple times; the assailants then fled in a minivan.

Investigators had few leads at first, but witness interviews over the following months pointed them toward a suspect. In August 2018 police charged 41-year-old Elijah M. Lynum with Johnson’s murder. Detectives say the killing was retaliatory, reportedly linked to Johnson’s alleged role in the beating of Lynum’s brother. Lynum was said to have bragged about the shooting and to have given details that matched the crime scene; he was one of three men alleged to have entered the bedroom and shot Johnson. At the time of the arrest Lynum was also implicated in a separate August 2018 homicide.

If anyone has information about who else entered that trailer or the minivan seen leaving the scene, please share what is known.
