A memorial nearly 10 months after the killings honored Briana Flowers and Anfernee Pollard as detectives continued seeking answers.
LAS VEGAS, NV — Police and relatives gathered Friday to honor two people killed inside a southwest Las Vegas home in January, renewing attention on a double homicide that remains unsolved nearly 10 months later.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Section joined family members and representatives of the Enterprise Area Command for a “Justice and Flowers” event Nov. 6 at Nathaniel Jones Park. The gathering honored Briana Flowers and Anfernee Pollard, both 31, and highlighted a case in which no suspect has been publicly named and no one has been charged, according to police.
The investigation began about 7:20 a.m. Jan. 28, when a juvenile called 911 to report that his mother had been injured inside a home in the 8600 block of Rowland Bluff Avenue. Officers arrived and found Flowers and Pollard with life-threatening injuries. Police provided aid until medical personnel arrived, but both were pronounced dead at the scene.
The Clark County coroner’s office ruled both deaths homicides. Police have said the suspect or suspects left before officers arrived. Investigators have described the killings as an isolated, domestic-related incident and have said they do not believe the deaths were the result of a murder-suicide. Authorities have not publicly identified a suspected attacker or announced a motive.
Flowers’ younger sister, Lauryn, stood with other relatives at Friday’s memorial and said the family continues to struggle with the loss. “Briana deserves justice,” she said. “Anfernee deserves justice. If you know anything, please don’t hesitate to speak out.” Family members placed flowers near photographs of the victims during the gathering.
Flowers was the oldest among her siblings, and her relatives described her as someone her family looked up to. Her son, Amill, was 7 when he called police on the morning of the killings to report that his mother needed help. Flowers’ sister said the loss had devastated the family, which continues to mourn the everyday moments they shared with her.
Pollard was a family friend and a Belizean musician known as “Big Bang,” according to reporting based on information from police. A police spokesperson said he was relatively new to the Las Vegas area when he was killed. His relatives were not present at Friday’s memorial, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Margaret Link, a neighbor who attended the memorial, said she had not seen or heard anything unusual on the morning of the killings. She brought flowers to the event and remembered seeing Flowers’ young son riding his bicycle and playing outside before the deaths disrupted the family’s life.
Police officials said the case remains a priority despite the months that have passed. Capt. Travis Cunningham said detectives would continue working to identify whoever was responsible. Police have continued seeking information from the public, including through Crime Stoppers, where information may be provided anonymously.
No arrest had been announced as of Friday, Nov. 6, and police had not publicly named a suspect. The Homicide Section continued investigating the deaths of Flowers and Pollard while their relatives pressed for answers and renewed attention on the case.
