Man killed at northwest Las Vegas steakhouse identified
The Clark County coroner’s office has identified a man shot and killed Monday night during an argument at a northwest Las Vegas restaurant.
He was 20-year-old Kesean Dedmon, the coroner’s office said. His death was ruled a homicide due to a gunshot wound of the back.
Police were called at about 10:30 p.m. Monday to the FireRock Steakhouse, at 5990 Centennial Center Boulevard, after multiple 911 callers reported a shooting, according to Metropolitan Police Department dispatch records and a statement from the department.
When officers arrived at the restaurant, they found evidence of a shooting. Dedmon was dropped off at Mountain View Hospital shortly after the shooting, where he died, police said.
Detectives believe Dedmon was at a party in the restaurant when an argument broke out, leading to the shooting, Metro said.
The suspected shooter fled the restaurant before officers arrived, police said. Metro said Wednesday afternoon that no arrests had been made in the case.
