Two women are wanted in connection with a robbery that happened on the 3000 block of North Tenaya Way near Cheyenne Avenue before 5:30 p.m. on June 19, and Las Vegas police are only now asking the public for help identifying them. The stretch of road sits in a busy Northwest Las Vegas corridor packed with medical offices and retail near MountainView Hospital, and detectives say both suspects remain unidentified nearly seven weeks after the incident.
According to FOX5, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department describes the first suspect as a Black female adult around 30 years old, roughly 5 feet 6 inches tall, with a thin build. She was reportedly wearing prescription glasses and a blue head wrap or bonnet at the time of the robbery. The second suspect is also described as a Black female adult approximately 30 years old, standing about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a thin build and black hair, per the same report.
The robbery took place in a high-density commercial and healthcare hub directly adjacent to MountainView Hospital at 3100 N. Tenaya Way and the Cheyenne Crossing shopping center at 3250 N. Tenaya Way, according to LoopNet. The area sees heavy vehicular traffic thanks to its proximity to the U.S. 95 interchange at Cheyenne Avenue. It remains unclear what business was targeted or what, if anything, was taken during the incident.
A Northwest Command Case With Unanswered Questions
The 3000 block of North Tenaya Way falls under the jurisdiction of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Northwest Area Command, headquartered at 9850 West Cheyenne Avenue and serving Centennial Hills and surrounding commercial corridors since it opened in December 2001. Whether force or a weapon was used during the robbery has not been disclosed, a detail that matters legally: under Nevada Revised Statutes 200.380, robbery is a Category B felony punishable by 2 to 15 years in state prison, and using a deadly weapon during a robbery in Nevada triggers a mandatory, consecutive sentence enhancement of 1 to 20 years, according to the Nevada Defense Group. That enhancement cannot run concurrently with the primary robbery sentence.
It's also unclear why Metro waited roughly seven weeks after the June 19 incident to release suspect descriptions publicly. The department's Commercial Robbery Section, which investigates business-related holdups and armed robberies across Clark County, can be reached directly at 702-828-3591 or by email at [email protected]. Throughout 2026, the unit has repeatedly turned to public appeals to crack stalled commercial robbery cases, including incidents on South Maryland Parkway, South Jones Boulevard, and Lake Mead Boulevard, a pattern Hoodline has tracked in recent months.
Anonymous Tips Could Bring a Cash Reward
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers of Nevada anonymously at 702-385-5555 or submit a tip online at www.crimestoppersofnv.com. The nonprofit, founded in 1979, pays cash rewards to tipsters whose information directly leads to a felony arrest, arrest warrant, or indictment, and tipsters do not need to wait for a conviction to collect, according to Crime Stoppers of Nevada. The organization has processed more than 270,000 anonymous tips for Southern Nevada law enforcement since it began, leading to over 11,400 felony arrests and more than $1.6 million in rewards funded through community and corporate donations.
The case comes even as Metro reported a broader drop in major crime heading into 2026. In a December briefing covered by KSNV NBC News 3 Las Vegas, Sheriff Kevin McMahill said robberies, burglaries, and vehicle thefts had all fallen valley-wide compared to 2024, calling the numbers historic lows for the department during his 35-year law enforcement career. Still, commercial robberies like the one on Tenaya Way remain an active priority for specialized detectives working to close out cases weeks or months after the fact.
Residents and business owners near the Northwest Area Command can also raise safety concerns directly with police at the department's monthly First Tuesday open-door meetings, held at the 9850 West Cheyenne Avenue station to discuss neighborhood crime trends and community strategies. For now, the two women remain unidentified, and investigators are relying on the public to fill in the gaps left by a case that has sat unsolved since June.
