Jhronne Maddox

Jhronne Maddox was a young man of 17 with a life unfolding in Las Vegas. While public records about his hobbies, schooling, or family circle are limited in the sources available, contemporary news reports identify him by name and age and make clear that he was known to people in his neighborhood. The community remembered Jhronne as one of the city’s young residents whose future was full of possibility.

On May 16, 2016, Jhronne’s life ended when he was fatally wounded in a shooting in the southeast Las Vegas area near South Nellis Boulevard. The Clark County coroner later ruled his death a homicide. Local reporting from the time identifies the location and describes that he was 17 when he died at Sunrise Hospital. In the days that followed, police investigators publicly identified a suspect and made an arrest out of state; those developments are part of the public record but do not define who Jhronne was to those who knew him.

Because no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice matching his name and the exact date of death was found in the public obituary archives searched, the fuller, personal details about Jhronne’s life — the small stories, friendships, and private memories held by family — are not available in the sources verified here. What is clear from news coverage is that Jhronne was a real person whose life had value to those around him and whose passing left a hole in his community.

This remembrance honors the fact that Jhronne was young and known by name, and it recognizes the limits of the public record. If family members or close friends wish to share memories, photographs, or corrections for a fuller memorial, those personal contributions would help the public record reflect the person behind the headlines.
