Henderson police are investigating an officer-involved shooting that unfolded Saturday evening in the 6000 block of South Eastern Avenue, just east of Harry Reid International Airport. Police said no officers were injured and that there is no threat to the public, though the circumstances that led to the shooting remain under investigation.
The Henderson Police Department confirmed the shooting occurred Saturday evening, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which reported the incident as a developing story. The newspaper noted the location is near East Patrick Lane and Sunset Road.
A Stretch With a History of Police Activity
The 6000 block of South Eastern Avenue has drawn police attention before. In March 2026, Metropolitan Police investigated a commercial armed robbery near East Patrick Lane in the same stretch, a case Hoodline previously covered in its report on the Neon Hoodie heist. The corridor is lined with retail centers, office space, and industrial parks that serve airport traffic, placing it at a crossroads where multiple law enforcement agencies routinely operate.
Third Shooting of the Year for Henderson Officers
Saturday's incident marks at least the third officer-involved shooting for Henderson police in 2026. In January, officers opened fire on Water Street after a suspect allegedly threatened a security guard with a screwdriver and drove a stolen front-loader into patrol vehicles, according to KSNV NBC News 3 Las Vegas. A second shooting followed in February near North Valle Verde Drive and Windmill Parkway during a response to a domestic disturbance call, as reported by KTNV Channel 13 Las Vegas.
The department, which employs roughly 390 sworn officers serving Nevada's second-largest city of more than 300,000 residents, has operated under additional scrutiny this year. Chief Reggie Rader, who took over the department in July 2025 following the dismissal of former chief Hollie Chadwick, and Deputy Chief Matt Murnane were placed under state administrative investigation in August 2026 over undisclosed allegations, the City of Henderson confirmed at the time — a development Hoodline detailed in its coverage of the state probe into HPD leaders.
Investigation Continues
Henderson police have not yet released additional details on what preceded Saturday's confrontation, and the investigation remains active.
