On Monday, 10/28/24 at about 4:20 pm, NCSO Dispatch received a call reporting a shooting in Pahrump at the intersection of Homestead and Cactus. Deputies responded and located a male down with a gunshot wound to the neck. Deputies provided First Aid and Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue responded. The male was immediately transported to the Mercy Air pad and flown into UMC Trauma in Las Vegas.
Deputies on scene received a vague description and canvassed the area. We were able to locate an outdoor camera in the area and could see the suspect who fled on foot. Another camera in the area showed the suspect get into a black Ford Mustang and leave the area.
Through our investigation, Deputies were able to tentatively identify the suspect as Jordan Matthew Rodriguez and responded to his residence where they found the suspect vehicle parked outside.
Deputies made contact at the residence and Rodriguez was detained. He was interviewed and as a result of the interview and evidence collected, he was later booked on charges of Attempted Murder, Battery with a Deadly Weapon and Discharging a Firearm Endangering the Public.
At last check, the victim remains in critical condition.
