911 calls reveal teen's courage after North Las Vegas apartment shooting

NORTH LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Channel 13 followed the events leading up to and following the shooting at a North Las Vegas apartment complex that left five people dead last week.

We now have 911 calls showing a distraught teenager learning what happened to several family members and his courage in those moments.

Issac Munoz, 16, spoke to Channel 13 last week and was the first person to call 911 to alert law enforcement of what had happened.

At the start of the call, Issac is whispering words in his room after learning that his mother, Damiana Munoz, 59, had been shot.

Warning: Some viewers may find this audio disturbing to hear.

The dispatcher is trying to figure out what happened.

Dispatcher: Okay, is she breathing?
Issac: I don't know because I'm still in my room.
Dispatcher: But the person who shot him, was it a man or a woman?
Issac: I don't know. I didn't want to go out and get shot too.

When Isaac emerges from his room, he sees the disaster. His mother is lying on the floor in the hallway and his 40-year-old sister, Amy Damian, is near the front door, shot and wounded.

Issac did not immediately see his 13-year-old cousin Olivia, who was also shot.

Isaac: My sister was also shot.
Dispatcher: How many people were shot?
Isaac: Two.
Dispatcher: Is there any serious bleeding?
Isaac: Yes, oh my God.

The dispatcher connects Isaac to a paramedic who asks him to perform CPR on his mother.

Isaac can be heard frantically giving his mother compressions.

Dispatcher: Okay, listen. I already have help coming to your house but we need to help them while we get to your house. You're going to pump your chest hard and fast, twice a second, and two inches deep.
Isaac: One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Please, Mom.

The dispatcher continues to ask Isaac questions as he patiently waits for paramedics to arrive on scene.

Dispatcher: Do you know what happened?
Isaac: No, all I heard was no, no, pop, pop. Then I went outside and saw my mother on the floor, lifeless.

The call log shows that officers arrived at the apartment within about ten minutes.

According to a police report also obtained by Channel 13, officers saw a 13-year-old girl with a gunshot wound to the left side of her head crouched between a couch and a wall inside the same apartment.

In another room, police said Issac's cousin, Ava, was inside with the door locked.

Isaac bravely spoke to Channel 13 and told us that paramedics first took his 13-year-old cousin Olivia. Then, they took his sister and mother a few hours later.

“I was really shaken because I saw my mother on the ground,” Issac told Channel 13 last week.

In another 911 call, Metro dispatch informed North Las Vegas police that a woman had approached one of their officers at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Madison Avenue about a shooting in the apartment directly below Issac's.

Shortly after, police said officers broke down the door to that apartment and found the bodies of Christopher Damian, 20, Kayla Harris, 24, and Jeannette Faria-Webster, 22.

“She said her boyfriend shot or killed her daughter,” a North Las Vegas police dispatcher said. “She said it happened at 370 Casa Norte Drive Apartment 1161.”

The woman was the ex-girlfriend of the shooter, whom police identified as Eric Adams, 47.

Police say Adams took the woman hostage and fled the scene. She escaped unharmed.

A manhunt immediately began for Adams and he killed himself when confronted by police in a West Las Vegas neighborhood.

Channel 13 also spoke with Sal Munoz, Damiana's ex-husband, who told Channel 13 he is heartbroken.

“I don't know what he had in mind to open the door and start shooting at my family,” Sal said.

At our last check, Olivia is still in critical condition.
