2 suspects arrested in May fatal shooting after birthday party

Two suspects were arrested Friday — one in Las Vegas and another in Portland, Oregon — for suspected involvement in a May shooting that killed one and wounded two others, police said.

Detectives identified William Hill III and Tyree Mays, both 30, as suspects in the May 18 shooting, according to a Metropolitan Police Department news release.

About 4 p.m. May 18, dispatch received a report of a shooting incident on the 7300 block of Prairie Falcon Road near Tenaya Way and Smoke Ranch Road.

Officers located three victims suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.

Carl Chester, 41, was killed. A 3-year-old boy and Marcellis Brown, Chester’s brother, were also shot.

Hill was arrested in Clark County Friday. He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on multiple felony charges including open murder.

Mays was arrested Friday during a simultaneous operation in Portland and was booked into a Multnomah County detention facility in Oregon and was awaiting extradition to Las Vegas, police said.

The May shooting may have been in retaliation for a 2022 fatal shooting, according to a police report released in July.

The shooting occurred after a birthday party Chester’s family held at the Sky Zone on Prairie Falcon Road. As Chester, Brown and the 3-year-old boy left, they were “ambushed” and shot by two men, police said.
