Rashad West

Rashad West was a young man whose life centered on the everyday ties that connect people to one another — home, work, and close relationships. Public records and police materials identify him as 22 years old at the time of his death in Las Vegas on April 20, 2006. While only fragments of his life appear in the public record, those facts point to a life lived in community: arriving home with a partner, holding employment, and living in the North Las Vegas/Las Vegas area.

Friends and family who knew Rashad would have recognized the rhythms of a young adult balancing work and personal life. Contemporary notices and local records describe him as a laborer from the North Las Vegas area, and official police memorial material documents that he was fatally shot outside an apartment complex on the evening of April 20, 2006. Those sources make clear that Rashad was a real person with everyday hopes and ties — not a statistic — and that his loss was felt by people close to him.

Publicly available sources do not, however, provide a fuller obituary or a family-published memorial that enumerates personal memories, survivors, or celebrations of his life. Because an authored funeral-home notice or family obituary could not be located that matches the exact date and identity, this remembrance emphasizes what can be confirmed with dignity: Rashad lived and worked in the Las Vegas area, he was 22 when he died on April 20, 2006, and he mattered to people in his life.

If family or close friends wish to add memories, photographs, or further biographical details, those personal contributions will help complete the portrait of Rashad beyond these public records and ensure his life is honored by name, not only by the circumstances of his passing.
