Family member identifies four victims in North Las Vegas shooting

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Words can't describe the pain Sal Munoz is feeling.

Around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, he received a call from his son, Issac, informing him that his ex-wife Anna, 59, had been shot and killed.

Munoz lives in New Mexico and immediately headed to the Las Vegas Valley.

He found out his daughter Amy Munoz, 40, and son Christopher Munoz, 21, had also been shot. His granddaughter, Olivia, 13, is hospitalized in critical condition.

“I'm heartbroken,” Munoz said. “It's not right. He killed innocent people.”

North Las Vegas police said officers went to the Craig Ranch Villas apartment complex around 10 p.m. Monday and found five people in two different apartments dead from apparent gunshot wounds. They identified the suspect as 47-year-old Eric Adams.

Dasia Cullins, a resident of the apartment complex, heard the police activity Monday evening and was shocked to hear the tragic news of the shooting.

“You’re supposed to feel safe here, and you don’t feel safe anymore,” Cullins said.

Munoz said her granddaughter may have brain damage and is fighting for her life.

He said the suspect was a neighbor of his family.

“This gentleman used to ask my ex for a ride because he would be late for work,” Munoz said.

Munoz also said his daughter Amy just completed a program to become a respiratory therapist two weeks ago.

“She was trying to get her license to get certified and start working,” Munoz said.

Police said Adams shot himself in the head when he was confronted by officers near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Balzar Avenue.

“There was no justice,” Munoz said. “I sympathize with the rest of the victims.”
