HENDERSON (KTNV) — New body camera footage released by the Henderson Police Department shows the moments an officer arrives at the deadly road rage shooting that killed an 11-year-old in Henderson on Friday, Nov. 14.

"I think he's dead," the child's stepfather said as police arrived on the scene.

The child, who has now been identified as Brandon Dominguez-Chavarria, was on his way to school with his stepfather when the road rage incident occurred on the 215 Beltway.

The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Matthew Johns, approached police soon after stating that he shot at the stepfather, and was not aware that a child was in the car.

"It's 100% my fault, I didn't know he had a kid in the car," Johns said.

According to Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader, the suspect and the stepfather got into a "heated exchange, "jockeying for a position," when trying to merge onto the 215 from U.S. 95/I-11, when the suspect pulled out a gun and fired one shot into the car, hitting the child in the back seat.

The child's stepfather then rammed the other car, and both vehicles came to a stop on the freeway, Rader said. Both drivers got out and continued to fight before a witness flagged down a passing Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer, who took the suspect into custody.
