FBI UCR Homicide Data — 20 recorded incidents
Las Vegas's homicide landscape is shaped by two distinct realities: the Strip and tourist corridor, where mass shootings and entertainment-related violence have drawn national attention, and the largely Hispanic and Black neighborhoods of North Las Vegas and downtown where concentrated poverty drives persistent violent crime. Nevada's permissive gun laws and the state's role as a transit corridor for both human trafficking and narcotics have contributed to a homicide rate that has climbed significantly since the pandemic. Las Vegas's 2017 Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting — 60 dead and hundreds wounded — remains the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, though it is an outlier in an otherwise more diffuse pattern of intimate-partner and gang-related homicide. FBI UCR data powers The Murder Channel's Las Vegas homicide tracker.
