‘Briana deserves justice’: Sisters of unsolved Las Vegas double homicide victims plead for tips

Relatives of a woman whose murder has remained unsolved since January pleaded for justice at a memorial Friday afternoon.

“Briana deserves justice,” said Lauryn, the victim’s younger sister. “Anfernee deserves justice. If you know anything, please don’t hesitate to speak out.”

Briana Flowers and Anfernee Pollard, both 31, were found shot inside a southwest Las Vegas home on Jan. 28. Flowers’ son, Amill, who was 7 at the time, called police that morning to say his mother was hurt and needed help.

The suspect or suspects fled before officers arrived, according to police.

Both deaths were ruled homicides by the Clark County coroner’s office. No suspects have been publicly named and no one has been charged, according to police.

Flowers was the oldest sibling. Her sister said everyone looked up to her.

“This crushed us completely,” Lauryn said, standing alongside her sisters and cousins. “We miss Briana. We miss hanging out. We miss girl time.”

They miss Pollard, a family friend, too, she said.

A Belizean musician who went by “Big Bang,” he was new to the area when he was killed, a police spokesperson said.

His relatives did not attend the memorial and could not be reached for comment.

The Metropolitan Police Department hosted the event at Nathaniel Jones Park, less than a mile from where Flowers lived with her son. Sgt. Derek Berger, who had introduced Flowers’ relatives, said its purpose was to bring renewed attention to the killings.

Police said that anyone with information about the slayings can contact Metro’s homicide section or Crime Stoppers of Nevada.

“No matter how insignificant it may seem, please come forward,” Capt. Travis Cunningham said. “I’d like to assure these families in this community that this case remains a priority for LVMPD. We’ll continue working tirelessly until those responsible are identified, arrested, and brought to justice.”

Margaret Link, a neighbor, was among those who attended. As Flowers’ relatives laid roses on a table with photos of the victims, Link added a bouquet she had brought.

Link said she did not see or hear anything unusual the morning of the shootings. She still looks for Amill when she backs out of her garage, she said, because he was always riding his bike or playing outside.

“It’s all so sad,” she added. “The family is so brave to be here today.”
