911 call, arrest report reveal details about fatal recordings on I-15

North Las Vegas (KTNV) -AM March 2, 2025, the North Las Vegas police arrested 28-year-old Joseph de Luna as a suspect at the fatal shootout of 21-year-old Jaime Zamora on the I-15.

According to the arrest report, de Luna called the police after Zamora had been shot into a truck on the side of the highway. The report states that the Luna “was taken into account based on the approvals during the call of the 911” without incident by the responding state troops.

The highway was closed for several hours when the authorities from the North Las Vegas police department arrived to take over the investigation.

The arrest report says that de Luna, Zamora and several friends drank and smoked the night before shooting marijuana. It also finds that de Luna Kokain snorted, opened a gun and showed paranoid behavior, but no significant conflicts between him and Zamora were found. De Luna and Zamora later decided to drive around when their friends went to sleep.

The investigators told de Luna that Zamora threatened him and his family if he hadn't “worked” for him – because he believed that Zamora wanted to sell drugs – and that de Luna, because he feared for his safety, put the truck in the parking lot in the parking lot and put the vehicle on the highway.

De Luna said Zamora said something in the effect of “What did you do for? Now I will really hurt you” and then change his body towards the suspect. De Luna said that he had become concerned that Zamora had a gun even though he never saw one. The police said that Zamora was shot several times, which led to his death.

According to investigators, de Luna had no visible injuries, and when he was asked why he hadn't just left the truck, he said, he said: “Because he threatened me.” According to the report, de Luna said that Zamora had never tried to harm him physically, to use a weapon against him or to beat him in any way. After the shootout, de Luna called to his girlfriend and mother before calling the police.

The investigators led interviews with several people in the house before the shootout. Some of them said that de Luna had been paranoid and accused that someone tried to start an intimate relationship with their ex-girlfriend, but it was not violent or confrontative.

Although he said he was threatened, the investigators said that De Luna could not clearly articulate a specific threat and could not describe any event that “put him in an impending fear for his life”.

De Luna was instructed in the North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center for an open murder with a fatal weapon accusation. Its deposit was set at 300,000 US dollars.
