Suspect Arrested After 11-Year-Old Boy Killed in Nevada Road Rage Shooting

Tyler Matthew Johns, 22, faces open murder charges after firing into a vehicle during a road rage incident that fatally injured an 11-year-old boy, police said.

  • On Friday, an 11-year-old boy was fatally shot around 7:30 a.m. on Interstate 215 in Henderson while on his way to school, dying despite first responders' efforts.
  • Henderson police say two vehicles were jockeying for position on Interstate 215 when one attempted to pass on the shoulder, prompting a heated exchange before the drivers exited and confronted each other.
  • Henderson police identified the suspect as 22-year-old Tyler Matthew Johns, who allegedly fired one round into the SUV, and a passing Las Vegas officer arrested him at the scene after the stepfather rammed Johns' car.
  • Chief Reggie Rader urged everyone to be patient and said Johns faces open murder and firearm charges, with records showing he is held at the Henderson Detention Center on $20,000 bond.
  • Officials compared the shooting to prior road-rage cases that struck children, noting incidents in 2021 and 2023, while Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader urged drivers to `do better` as holiday congestion raises tempers.
