20-year-old arrested in fatal shooting in January in North Las Vegas
North Las Vegas police say they have arrested a 20-year-old man in the Jan. 15 slaying of a teen in the city.
Gemonte Kirkland is facing charges of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy and battery in the killing of Se’maj Holmes, 18. Holmes was found in a car with a woman, who also had been shot, after the vehicle had crashed into a home near Washburn Road and Goldfield Street.
The woman survived but Holmes died at University Medical Center the following day. His death was ruled a homicide due to a gunshot wound to the head.
Police did not immediately provide details about how they connected Kirkland to the crime or identify a suspected motive.
A previous version of this story incorrectly spelled Holmes’ name.
