**Metro Police Shooting Incident in Las Vegas: Four Arrested and Investigation Ongoing**
In a dramatic turn of events on Sunday, June 23, 2025, a shootout occurred between Metro Police detectives and suspects during an investigative follow-up to a drive-by shooting in the 5100 block of Hickam Avenue, Las Vegas.
The incident began when Metro Police detected two vehicles, a black Nissan sedan and a white Honda sedan, which were believed to be involved in the initial drive-by shooting. The vehicles were first observed in a church parking lot, where some occupants switched vehicles and fled at high speed.
As the detectives pursued the vehicles, a shootout ensued. Detective Strahinja Pavlovic, a 32-year-old member of the Tactical Operations Division, reported that he saw the driver of the Nissan, believed to be Daiveon Stone, extend his arm out of the window in a manner consistent with pointing a firearm. The man raised a gun in the direction of the detectives and fired several times, hitting one of the police vehicles. Detective Pavlovic heard his car being hit by gunfire and returned fire at the suspect vehicle.
The shootout resulted in two of the suspects sustaining gunshot wounds. Both were treated at a local hospital, with Daiveon Stone being released with non-life-threatening injuries. Calvin Richards, another suspect, suffered a gunshot wound to one of his eyes and remains in stable condition.
The police were able to locate the suspect vehicles at a nearby hospital and detain the occupants. In addition to Daiveon Stone and Calvin Richards, three other individuals were arrested: Lazavion Payne, 19; Calvin Richards, 24; and a 14-year-old boy.
The suspects face multiple charges, including attempted murder with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle. The suspects, excluding Richards (who remained hospitalized), appeared in court for their initial hearing and are scheduled for further court appearances.
The incident is currently being reviewed by Metro. The investigation is ongoing, with no updates on the current condition of Richards or further legal developments beyond the initial court appearances and charges filed against the suspects.
In the aftermath of the Metro Police shooting incident in Las Vegas on June 23, 2025, local news outlets are reporting on the arrest of four suspects in connection to a drive-by shooting in the 5100 block of Hickam Avenue.
