LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Nye County Sheriff's Office is still searching for three teenage suspects in a deadly shooting that happened Saturday in a Pahrump park during a community movie event.
The shooting victim, identified as 22-year-old Joey Perry, suffered four gunshot wounds, three to his back and one to his neck, Sheriff Joe McGill said during a news conference Monday morning, where the sheriff's office made a public plea to help find the suspects. Perry's family members attended.
'I'm Joey's mom,' Mari Eusiello said. 'I'm lost and torn. My heart is shattered.'
Pahrump is about 60 miles west of Las Vegas. The shooting occurred in Ian Deutch Memorial Park around 10 p.m. on July 5. McGill said officers responded to a fight involving around 50 teens, four of whom were in the actual fight. The rest were watching or cheering it on.
McGill said the fight was stopped, and the officers left. Ten minutes later, the deadly shooting occurred. A woman who saw the fight and subsequent shooting contacted police and told them what she saw as the suspects left in a red vehicle, later identified as a Chevy Camaro.
'She then heard what she described as automatic gunfire and the vehicle left at a high rate of speed,' McGill said.
McGill identified the suspects, including the juvenile due to the seriousness of the crime, as: Carlos Blakely, 18, Anthony Aguilar, 17, and Fabian Ferrante, 19, another person initially identified as a suspect, Brandon Port, 18, turned himself in to police and is no longer considered a suspect in the case.
The suspects are facing charges of murder, conspiracy, and possession of an altered firearm, McGill said.
'This witness knows that Blakely commonly carries firearms to include a fully automatic Glock handgun.'
'We are not sure what started the fight in the first place or if the fight is even involved in the shooting,' McGill said. Officers are also investigating other incidents that may have occurred at the park. McGill did not elaborate but did say he received information Monday morning 'that there was a comment made that a green light was put on Joey. For what reason, I don't know.'
A 'green light' is street slang for giving the go-ahead to commit a crime.
'I need justice for my baby. Please turn yourselves in. Be brave and face the consequences,' Eusiello pleaded.
McGill is urging anyone who has information or video, or photos of the gathering, fight, or shooting at the Ian Deutch Memorial Park on Saturday night to email: [e-mail], or to call [phone] (5), or to contact Crimestoppers at [phone].
