OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/04/2026, at approximately 3:30 a.m., Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to the 1100 block of East Harmon Avenue near University Center Drive after receiving reports of a man who appeared intoxicated and was waving a firearm. The man was later identified by the Clark County Coroner's Office as 21-year-old Angel Tywan Lucas Lindsey.

According to Sheriff Kevin McMahill, Lindsey was sitting on a curb when two officers arrived. Police said Lindsey immediately pulled out a handgun and opened fire at the officers. One of the officers, 29-year-old LVMPD Officer Blake McNair, was struck multiple times. McNair's partner returned fire, striking Lindsey.

McNair and Lindsey were both transported to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center. Lindsey died from his gunshot wounds. The Clark County Coroner's Office subsequently identified him and ruled his death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

McNair also died at the hospital. He had served with LVMPD since 2023 and was assigned to the South Central Area Command. Before joining the department, McNair served in the United States Marine Corps. His death was the first fatal shooting of an on-duty LVMPD officer since 2009.

Police recovered a handgun at the scene. Although Lindsey was reportedly the subject of the original armed-person call, the publicly available reporting reviewed does not establish through toxicology that he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time; the intoxication description originated with the initial caller.

LVMPD has not yet publicly identified the officer who shot Lindsey in the sources provided and reviewed. The department said its Critical Incident Review Team and Force Investigation Team are investigating the encounter. Body-camera footage and a more detailed reconstruction of the shooting are expected to be released under LVMPD's critical-incident disclosure process.
