) — An off-duty Metro police officer and his wife shot and killed a man in their front yard Friday morning after they said they saw the man strangling a woman.

The incident happened just after 9:30 a.m. Friday morning in the 700 block of 6th Street in Boulder City, LVMPD Capt. Kurt McKenzie said.

LVMPD received a call from the Boulder City Police Department asking for assistance after a person was found dead in the front yard of the home.

According to police, the officer and his wife were inside their home when they heard a “commotion” in the backyard of a neighbor’s house. The officer left his home and saw a man “mounted” on top of a woman, punching and strangling her. The officer then told his wife to call police, while the officer went into the backyard to separate the man and woman, McKenzie said.

The officer was able get the woman to safety. The man then followed the officer into his front yard and the officer gave “numerous” commands to the man to stop, saying he would shoot if he came closer, McKenzie said.

The man continued to approach the group and the off-duty officer and his wife both fired at him, McKenzie said. Medical personnel later pronounced the man dead.

Metro police was investigating since the shooter is an officer in their department.

This is the 1st officer-involved shooting for Metro in 2025. Following LVMPD policy, the identity of the officer involved will be released after 48 hours.
