Las Vegas Police Release Video of Deadly Road-Rage Shooting: ‘My Kid Is Dead’

Las Vegas Metro Police have released bodycam footage from a deadly road-rage incident last week that left an 11-year-old boy dead. The release follows a request from 8 News Now.

The victim, Brandon Dominguez, was reportedly killed last Friday morning while on his way to school. His father, grieving the loss, is seen in the video expressing his devastation at the scene. Authorities have warned that the footage may be disturbing to viewers.

Police say the incident began when two drivers, including suspect Thomas Johns, were traveling on the I-11 to the 215 Beltway and began jockeying for position. At one point, the victim’s vehicle was in front of Johns’, who then allegedly accelerated and fired at the back window, striking Brandon Dominguez, who was inside the car.

Witnesses described tense moments leading up to the shooting, noting that the drivers were aggressively maneuvering in the emergency lane. The area of the 215 was temporarily shut down as investigators processed the scene.

During a bond hearing on Tuesday, a police detective testified that Johns was the aggressor. However, his attorney argued that the shooting was accidental. Johns is scheduled to appear in court after the holiday.

The tragic incident has sparked renewed attention on road-rage incidents and the dangers they pose to families and young children.
