LAS VEGAS, NV — Detectives with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department have arrested the suspects responsible for ambushing and shooting an off-duty corrections officer in a northwest valley commercial plaza, department officials confirmed.

The breakthrough arrests—announced late Monday evening, September 28, 2026, under LVMPD Event #LLV260900082271—arrive less than 72 hours after investigators published surveillance footage showing the gunman fleeing the scene on an electric bicycle.

Ambushed in Northwest Commercial Lot

The shooting occurred at approximately 8:43 p.m. on Monday, September 21, in the commercial parking lot of a retail complex in the 7600 block of West Cheyenne Avenue, near North Buffalo Drive.

The victim—an off-duty corrections officer employed with Metro—was walking toward his vehicle after patronizing a local establishment when a male riding a black electric bicycle circled past him twice. The rider drew a handgun, fired multiple rounds directly into the officer, and fled west through adjacent commercial corridors.

Responding patrol officers and paramedics provided emergency medical intervention before transporting the officer to a local hospital in stable condition.

Sheriff Kevin McMahill noted that the officer appeared to have been deliberately targeted, prompting Metro’s Violent Gun Crime Unit (VGCU) and federal task force partners to launch a manhunt.

Surveillance Video Leads to Swift Apprehension

Investigators released high-definition surveillance video showing the suspect pedaling through commercial lots in dark outerwear, a half-style helmet, and a protective face mask.

Within days of the footage airing on valley broadcasts, detectives received actionable community tips that enabled Metro’s Criminal Apprehension Team (CAT) to identify and locate the suspects.
