Man Dies in Custody After Shooting Standoff | Las Vegas News

A deadly confrontation unfolded in North Las Vegas when officers responded to a random AR-15 shooting, finding suspect Daniel Lujan Junior already on the ground. As he resisted arrest, grabbed an officer’s rifle, and refused to show his hands despite repeated commands, officers used tasers and a baton to subdue him. He was bleeding from the head and later died in custody after medical intervention. No officers fired their weapons, but one was injured. Evidence recovered included the rifle and shell casings, with bullet holes in nearby homes and cars. Lujan, with a 20-year arrest history, would have faced multiple charges if he’d survived.
