LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A Las Vegas man has pleaded guilty for several charges related to a Sept. 2022 shooting on East Fremont Street.
According to court documents and admissions made in court, the incident happened on Sept. 1, 2022. That's when 40-year-old DaJuan Lamar Gamble, also known as Popeye, allegedly fired three shots from a walkway in front of a motel on East Fremont Street at an SUV that had stopped in front of the motel.
Investigators said security camera recordings from the motel show a passenger in the SUV then fired at least two shots from the vehicle at Gamble.
When officers arrived, Las Vegas police stated they recovered the gun as well as a semi-automatic rifle in a black bag that were hidden in the boiler room of the motel. Police said trace DNA on the gun matched Gamble.
No further details about the incident have been released by the Justice Department.
