Grand Central Parkway in downtown Las Vegas. Reyes died during an incident involving Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers on December 8, 2024.

Review Details

Hearing Officer Mandy McKellar will preside over the review of Reyes' death. Willard Ewing will serve as the ombudsman, and District Attorney Pam Weckerly will represent the District Attorney's Office. Detective Andrew Ubbens will also take part.

About the Fact-Finding Review

A fact-finding review is held when a police-involved death occurs, and the District Attorney's Office preliminarily determines that no criminal prosecution of the officer or officers involved is appropriate. The county manager selects presiding officers and ombudsmen from lists approved by the County Commission. The ombudsman represents the public and the deceased's family during the review.

Review Process

During a review, representatives from the District Attorney's Office present witnesses and make a presentation of the essential facts surrounding the police-involved death. After the prosecutors finish their presentation, the presiding officer and ombudsman may also ask questions.

The procedure for questioning witnesses is informal and intended to provide the public with relevant information about the use of force. The public is encouraged to attend. Members of the public observing the review may submit proposed written questions to the presiding officer on forms available at the review.

According to county ordinance, the presiding officer may ask the proposed questions, revise them, or decline to ask them if they deem them "redundant, irrelevant or an abuse of the review process." At the end of the review, no formal determination about the manner or cause of death is rendered.

Viewing Information

The review will be aired live on Clark County Television, available on Cox cable Channel 4 in Las Vegas, Channel 14 via Optimum in Laughlin, Channel 4 in Boulder City, and Digital Channel 50.3 in Moapa Valley.
