Presiding officer explains the hearing exists because the Clark County District Attorneys Office made a preliminary determination that no criminal prosecution is appropriate and that Clark County Ordinance chapter 2.12 requires a public review; describes scope (not a trial), gives public-question procedure, and names Will Ewing as ombudsman and Chief Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth Mercer as the states presenter. The presiding officer confirms witnesses will be chosen by the DAs office and that subpoena power is not available to others.
Clark County held a public fact-finding review after the District Attorneys Office determined that no criminal prosecution of the officers involved in the December 31, 2023, shooting of Javier Flores was appropriate. The review presented the investigative timeline, body-worn-camera footage and forensic evidence, and included testimony from a North Las Vegas homicide detective and questioning by the ombudsman representing the public and the family. The panel did not render a formal legal finding; records and video are available on the county website.
