Kishawn Washington

Kishawn Washington was an 18‑year‑old young man who lived in North Las Vegas. Though public records about his life beyond basic facts are limited, contemporary local reporting places him in a close‑knit community near Cheyenne Avenue and Civic Center Drive, where family, friends and neighbors knew him as a son and a presence in the neighborhood.

At 18, Kishawn stood at the threshold of adulthood. Local news reports from late January 2016 identify him by name and age and describe him as a member of the North Las Vegas community. These sources indicate he was taken to University Medical Center following a late‑afternoon confrontation on January 28, 2016, and that his death was later ruled a homicide by the Clark County coroner. The reporting that followed shows the impact his loss had on people close to him and on those who lived nearby.

Although I could not locate a family‑published funeral notice or a full obituary matching the exact death date in publicly accessible funeral‑home listings, established local news reporting and subsequent legal records confirm Kishawn’s identity and the date he died. A later court record in Nevada references the prosecution related to his death, underscoring that his death remained a matter of official and public record beyond initial news coverage.

Because primary personal details such as a birthdate, school, employment, or a family‑published memorial were not found in public obituary archives available online, this remembrance focuses on what is verifiable: Kishawn was a young member of his community whose life had meaning to those around him. He is not defined by the circumstances of his death. Those who knew him carried the memory of an 18‑year‑old whose loss left a mark on his community. This page honors the fact that Kishawn was a real person with relationships and a life that mattered to others, and it acknowledges the limits of the public record while respectfully preserving his name and the date he passed.
