Don Tisby

Don Tisby, 36, was a Las Vegas resident whose life was rooted in the neighborhoods east of the Strip. Public records and contemporary local reporting confirm he was found injured in an alley near Sherwood Street and Sahara Avenue on the night of September 3, 2023, and later died from a gunshot wound. Beyond those facts, publicly available sources offer only limited details about Don’s personal life.

Those official accounts nevertheless make clear that Don was a real person known to his community — someone who walked local streets, who was present in everyday places where neighbors passed one another and where families live their lives. While the public reporting focuses on the circumstances surrounding his death and the subsequent police investigation, it is important to remember that Don’s life was more than the brief descriptions in news items. He is identified by name and age in local reporting, which confirms his ties to the east-Strip Las Vegas area and the date of his passing.

For people creating a memorial, the public record here supports honoring Don as an individual: someone who belonged to a place and to people who will carry his memory. Where details about family, work, hobbies, or milestones are not available in reliable public sources, this remembrance respectfully acknowledges those limits rather than speculate. If friends or family wish to share memories, photographs, or preferred remembrances, a memorial page can gently invite those personal contributions so that Don’s full life — the relationships, stories, and small moments that defined him — may be preserved by those who knew him best.

A brief factual note: local news coverage reports that a suspect was later identified and arrested in connection with the shooting. That legal matter and the circumstances remain part of official records and reporting, but they do not define Don’s identity. This page is intended to center his personhood and to provide a place where family and friends can add the details that truly celebrate his life.
