Relatives of Briana Flowers gathered at Nathaniel Jones Park on Friday to demand justice for the 31-year-old and Anfernee Pollard, also 31, who were found shot inside a southwest Las Vegas home on Jan. 28. Flowers' 7-year-old son, Amill, called police that morning to report his mother was hurt, but the suspect or suspects fled before officers arrived. The Clark County coroner's office ruled both deaths homicides, yet no suspects have been publicly named and no one has been charged.
"Briana deserves justice. Anfernee deserves justice. If you know anything, please don't hesitate to speak out," said Lauryn, Flowers' younger sister, standing alongside other family members. She described her sister as the oldest sibling whom everyone looked up to. "This crushed us completely. We miss Briana. We miss hanging out. We miss girl time."
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department hosted the memorial less than a mile from where Flowers lived with her son to bring renewed attention to the case. A police spokesperson said Pollard, a Belizean musician who went by "Big Bang," was new to the area when he was killed. His relatives did not attend and could not be reached for comment.
Capt. Travis Cunningham urged the public to come forward with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, and assured the families the case remains a priority. "We'll continue working tirelessly until those responsible are identified, arrested, and brought to justice," he said. Neighbor Margaret Link, who attended the memorial, said she did not see or hear anything unusual the morning of the shootings but still looks for Amill when backing out of her garage. "The family is so brave to be here today," she said.
