On September 1, 2026, at approximately 7:10 p.m., LVMPD Communications received a report from a male individual, later identified as 29-year-old Juan Orona, stating he had shot his girlfriend and her two children. Orona said he was currently at the Southeast Area Command, and he wanted to turn himself in. Orona provided the address of the shooting saying it occurred at an apartment in the 5100 block of O’Bannon Drive.

Patrol officers were dispatched to both locations. Orona was taken into custody and officers noticed he was suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Medical personnel transported him to a hospital where he was treated for his non-life-threatening injury.

Additional officers arrived at the apartment on O’Bannon Drive. Inside the apartment they located an adult female, a teenage female, and a male under the age of 10, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Medical personnel pronounced all three deceased at the scene.

The LVMPD Homicide Section was notified and responded.

Orona was booked into the Clark County Detention Center for three counts of Open Murder with a Deadly Weapon and ten counts of Discharging a Gun into an Occupied Structure.

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