Officials Air Findings in Nevada Shooting That Left 4 Dead

LAS VEGAS (AP) Authorities aired the results Monday of the investigation of an Election Day 2020 police shooting that killed a man in a vehicle after an upstairs neighbor killed two women, wounded a teenage girl and abducted a 12-year-old boy who died when he was shot as police approached.

The hearing about the Henderson police shooting of Jason Neo Bourne, a 38-year-old who changed his name in 2014 because he admired a movie character, suggested that Bourne shot the boy several times, including in the head, after police opened fire into the boys familys Cadillac Escalade.

Bourne, sitting in the drivers seat, fired seven shots with a .40 caliber handgun, according to evidence presented by Henderson police Detective Richard Christopher, the only investigator questioned during the hearing dubbed a public fact-finding review.

The proceeding, overseen by an attorney former state Assembly member and presented by a county prosecutor, did not conclusively answer whether one or more of the 27 shots fired by police struck the boy sitting in the passenger seat next to Bourne who continued talking with a 911 dispatcher until gunfire erupted and was heard exclaiming Yeah, as officers began a second volley of fire.
