According to Metro Police, 21-year-old Charro Kennebruew was arrested in southern California and will be extradited to Las Vegas on open murder charges.

The shooting happened on Oct. 5, 2020 just before 12:30 a.m. near the intersection of Alta and Durango . The victim, identified as 20-year-old Kevin Martinez, was found in the road suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Several months after the murder, then 19-year-old Myles Coleman, a registered UNLV freshman, was arrested in late March of 2021.

A warrant had been issued for Kennebruew's arrest a month after the shooting. According to court documents, Coleman and Kennebruew, along with two other men, attended the party and “may have identified [the victim] as a viable target to rob.”
