North Las Vegas police have arrested a man in connection with a fatal shooting last month near Interstate 15 and Lake Mead Boulevard.

Robert Lewis, 36, was arrested and charged with open murder after police said he shot and killed 46-year-old Kevin Dixon around 11 p.m. May 26 on the 1800 block of Goldfield Street.

“The investigation revealed that the victim and Lewis were known to each other and had a known quarrel. A confrontation between the two men during this incident resulted in Lewis shooting the victim,” according to North Las Vegas Police Department spokeswoman Caitlyn Ebert.
