Police still pursuing leads in man’s unsolved killing

-

A killing at a known drug flophouse in the southeast Las Vegas Valley earlier this year has remained unsolved for more than eight months.

For the first time since the Feb. 19 homicide, the Metropolit­an Police Department released a descriptio­n and surveillan­ce footage of an SUV thought to be involved in Jammie Ramone Jackson’s killing.

His death was the second homicide investigat­ion in less than two months at 4323 Del Santos Drive. The 37-year-old man was gunned down in the driveway of the flophouse, police said. He died at the scene.

“He came to the residence for some unknown reason,” then-Las Vegas homicide Lt. Dan McGrath said at the time. “I would venture to say it had something to do with narcotics.”

Jackson had just arrived at the home with a woman when an SUV pulled up and a man inside began shooting. McGrath said at the time that police were looking for two suspects — the shooter and the driver of the vehicle.

It remains unclear whether Jackson knew his alleged killer or whether the attack instead targeted the flophouse.

Metro homicide detectives first were called to the same address on Dec. 22, 2017, when a narcotics-related dispute led Christine Rose Sanchez to shoot three of her roommates to death, police said.

Sanchez’s jury trial is set to begin Feb. 4.

Anyone with informatio­n about the February homicide is asked to call Metro’s homicide section at 702-828-3521 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 to remain anonymous.
