LVMPD Investigates 5th OIS of 2026

On April 25, 2026, at approximately 3:23 a.m., an LVMPD officer conducted a person stop near the intersection of West Harmon Avenue and Arville Street. As the officer directed the individual to the front of his patrol vehicle, the suspect became uncooperative. The suspect then began to walk away and pulled out a firearm. The officer opened fire, and the suspect fled on foot as the officer gave chase. Shortly after, the officer discharged his firearm again and the suspect was struck.

The individual continued to flee and was taken into custody in a nearby parking lot. Medical personnel arrived and transported the suspect to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No officers were harmed during this incident.

This is the 5th officer-involved shooting of 2026. Per LVMPD policy, the identity of the officer involved will be released after 48 hours.
