Man’s Heartbreaking Reaction Captured on Bodycam After 11-Year-Old Stepson Is Killed in Road-Rage Shooting

Man’s Heartbreaking Reaction Captured on Bodycam After 11-Year-Old Stepson Is Killed in Road-Rage Shooting

Newly released police body-camera footage captures the devastating moment a Nevada father learned that his 11-year-old stepson, Brandon Dominguez-Chavarria, had been fatally shot during a road-rage encounter on the 215 Beltway near Henderson.

On the morning of November 14, Brandon was riding in the back seat while his stepfather, Valente Ayala, drove him to school. According to investigators, Ayala’s SUV and a car driven by Tyler Matthew Johns, 22, became involved in aggressive driving as they “jockeyed for position” in traffic. At one point, Johns attempted to pass on the freeway shoulder, sparking a heated exchange between the two drivers.

Police say Johns then fired a single shot into Ayala’s vehicle. The bullet struck Brandon in the head.

Realizing his stepson had been shot, Ayala rammed Johns’s vehicle to prevent him from fleeing. Both men then exited their cars and confronted each other on the road until a passerby flagged down a police officer.


When officers arrived, body-cam footage shows Ayala collapsing to the ground in anguish, repeatedly screaming:

“My kid is dead… my son!”

Officers attempted to calm him while rushing to Brandon, who had suffered a fatal wound. The Clark County coroner later confirmed the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the head.

Johns was arrested at the scene. According to police reports and video captured that morning, he told officers:

“It’s 100 percent my fault. I didn’t even know he had a kid in the car.”

He has been charged with open murder with a deadly weapon enhancement along with additional firearms-related charges. He is being held at the Henderson Detention Center.


Prosecutors initially considered charging Ayala for ramming the suspect’s vehicle but ultimately declined. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said Ayala’s actions “didn’t rise to the level” of criminal neglect, emphasizing the emotional chaos of the moment.

Brandon’s family described him as a joyful boy who loved soccer, Roblox, and spending time with his siblings. A GoFundMe organized by relatives called him “the light of our family,” a child full of love and innocence whose life was taken in a “senseless moment of anger.”

Police Chief Reggie Rader condemned the shooting as a tragic example of how quickly road-rage incidents can escalate. Authorities urged the public to practice patience on the road, noting that a brief moment of frustration cost a child his life.

The investigation remains ongoing as Brandon’s family and the wider community continue to grieve.
