HENDERSON, Nev. (FOX5) – The aftermath from a multi-day barricade in Henderson off of Callen Falls Avenue near Galleria and Cadence Vista remains one year later.
“It’s an embarrassment. It’s a stain on the community,” resident Zachary Perry said of the visible eye sore. “We all want to get over it. It’s been a year and it’s sad. It’s so sad to see. It’s a beautiful community and we still have to look at that yesterday.”
On April 12, 2024, Henderson Police Department’s Criminal Apprehension Team responded to the 200 block of Callen Falls Avenue in pursuit of a wanted subject involved in a violent felony case.
A North Las Vegas Police report explains Henderson police made the call for NLVPD to break down the garage door with a Bearcat. The report also says police were unable to find the suspect in the townhome after searching with multiple drones.
On the morning of April 14, 2024, HPD said the suspect, 31-year-old Trevor Cooper, was found dead. Five rifles and one handgun were recovered from the scene.
In May 2024, the City of Henderson said the community’s Homeowner Association was responsible for paying for repairs to the structure of the building, and the property owners will be responsible for their individual townhomes. Later that year, the city changed course and agreed to foot the bill. A city spokesperson said they were working with a third party to figure out what needs to be fixed, and will pay each person back.
For months, residents of the townhome community have complained about the “embarrassing” damage facing the street. Some worry about what it is doing to their property values. And yet, One year after the barricade incident, the townhome is still missing it’s garage door. The backside of the building was also ripped off during the barricade and is also not repaired.
“I want the back fixed. It’s what everyone sees passing this community,” Perry explained. “That’s the first thing you see and it’s like, well, we don’t want to go in there. It’s frustrating. I want the repairs done quick. Help the people out. Let’s get it over with cause whoever’s idea it was to take an excavator to rip the house down, I don’t think that was probably the best call. That was not good judgement.”
A City of Henderson spokesperson said they are still negotiating with one of the homeowners. Once they reach an agreement, it will go to city council for review and approval. Then, construction can begin.
