Charles Vailes Jr., 20, was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in North Las Vegas just before 5 a.m. on March 28, 2020. Vailes, an aspiring rapper known as Luccy2x, was a passenger at a gas station near Lake Mead Boulevard and Losee Road when someone opened fire. The driver reportedly sped away and went to a friend’s house; when police and medical personnel arrived at that residence, Vailes was pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds. The Clark County coroner’s office ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators later charged two men in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors said the attack was tied to a music-related rivalry and that one suspect became angered by a song referencing a deceased friend; Vailes’ mother, Kristal McClodden, has maintained her son did not write or produce that song. On the day of the shooting, it is alleged a driver took the shooter to the gas station, the shooter ran up to the car and opened fire.

Vailes was a father to a 3-month-old daughter at the time. Does anyone have information about that morning or about Vailes’ activities in North Las Vegas that could help clarify what happened?
