Las Vegas has been experiencing a series of violent incidents over the past week. A 13-year-old boy was shot and killed in North Las Vegas on Christmas Eve during a family cookout. The incident occurred in the 3200 block of Fountain Falls Way around 8 p.m. and has left the family devastated. In a separate incident, Las Vegas police were involved in a shooting near Blue Diamond and Durango in the southwest valley. Additionally, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police shot and killed a suspect who produced a firearm while fleeing from officers after a reported stolen vehicle incident on Thursday night. This week, five Las Vegas police officers and Nevada State Troopers, identified on Friday, fired at Justin Davidson, a suspect in the murder of his mother and a carjacking victim.

Other events included a fire in a central Las Vegas valley apartment and a fire at a senior apartment complex in the east valley on Christmas Day.
