 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

On February 20, 2026, at approximately 9:18 p.m., LVMPD Communications received a report of a male who had shot at another person and had set a house on fire in the 1700 block of Gabriel Drive. Arriving officers located a man, later identified as 60-year-old William Hall, armed with a firearm in the front yard of a residence that was engulfed in flames. The officers were able to take Hall into custody without incident.

Officers began to assist others by getting them out of the house when a female suffering from apparent gunshot wounds was discovered in a recreational vehicle parked in the front yard. Officers attempted to render aid to the woman. When medical personnel arrived, the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The Clark County Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire. No other injuries were reported.

The LVMPD Homicide Section was notified and responded. Through the course of the investigation, detectives learned that Hall lived in the residence and over the last couple of months he had been having issues with the other residence to include the victim.

Hall was booked into the Clark County Detention Center for several felony charges to include Open Murder with a Deadly Weapon, six counts of Attempt Murder with a Deadly Weapon, and 1^st Degree Arson.

The identification of the decedent, as well as the cause and manner of death, can be obtained through the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
