Casino Patron in Las Vegas Meeting Equal Fate as Son of a State Senator
In the early hours of March 30, 2025, a tragic incident unfolded at the Aliante Casino in North Las Vegas. The victim was 23-year-old Na’Onche Osborne, the adopted son of former Nevada State Senator Pat Spearman. The suspect in the shooting, 19-year-old Aerion Warmsley, is currently facing a host of federal and state charges[1][2][3].
According to the police arrest report, Warmsley and Osborne had a confrontation inside the casino, which escalated when Warmsley pulled out a gun, pistol-whipped Osborne, and shot him multiple times[3]. The incident resulted in Osborne's death at the scene[1][3].
Following the shooting, Warmsley fled the casino, leading police on a chaotic 20-mile pursuit across Las Vegas. During this chase, he carjacked two additional vehicles and was involved in multiple crashes before being stopped and taken into custody[1][3].
Warmsley now faces 6 federal charges, including two counts of carjacking resulting in serious bodily injury, three counts of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, and one count of simple carjacking[1][3]. He also faces nearly 30 state and local charges, including open murder, robbery, and multiple counts related to the carjacking spree and brandishing a gun during crimes[1][3].
Prosecutors are considering pursuing the death penalty in this case due to the violent nature of the crime spree[1][2][3]. Warmsley pleaded not guilty in federal court and is scheduled to appear in federal court soon[2].
It is worth noting that Na’Onche Osborne had a previous arrest in October 2022 for shooting and wounding his cousin. No information was provided about the relationship between Warmsley and Osborne in relation to this previous arrest[1].
The Clark County coroner's office confirmed Osborne's death on March 30, 2025[2]. No motive for Osborne's murder has been specified by police[1].
