On April 5, 2023, 16-year-old Eddwin Ramos-Figueroa was shot and killed in North Las Vegas during an attempted robbery that involved him and two other juveniles. Ramos-Figueroa and the others allegedly tried to rob another 16-year-old; gunfire followed and Ramos-Figueroa was struck. He was taken to University Medical Center and pronounced dead.

The two juveniles who were with Ramos-Figueroa fled but were later identified and booked into the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center. Police identified the shooter as the intended robbery victim, later named in court as 15-year-old Gabriel Ayala. Prosecutors say Ayala, after being beaten and robbed earlier, returned to the scene with a gun instead of contacting police or seeking medical care; Ayala’s defense says he feared for his family’s safety after multiple assaults. A judge ordered Ayala to be tried as an adult.

Did anyone witness the robbery or the shooting who hasn’t already spoken to investigators?
