Demetrius Powell Jr., a 14-year-old Black/African American male, died of a gunshot wound on October 11, 2024, in North Las Vegas. His death was discovered not at the scene of the shooting but when two unidentified, masked individuals carried the critically injured teenager into the lobby of North Vista Hospital and left him there. Surveillance footage from the hospital captured those moments; the pair’s swift departure back into the night is central to the investigation.

The North Las Vegas Police Department opened a homicide investigation and has released the surveillance images of the two people who brought Powell to the hospital, describing them as suspects. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active. If anyone recognizes the individuals seen on the footage or has information about what happened to Demetrius that night, please contact investigators. Who saw something that could explain how Demetrius came to be in that hospital lobby?
