The LVMPD Foundation honored two metro officers who for their lifesaving efforts in helping save the fourth victim of the UNLV shooting last December.
The identity and condition of the fourth victim in the UNLV shooting has not been released. When we asked Metro about further details, Deputy Chief Reggie Rader told us the man wants to remain anonymous.
“So out of respect for the individual who wishes to remain private all we’re going to say is that it was an adult male at UNLV and he was not a student,” said LVMPD Deputy Chief Reggie Rader.
Metro says the victim is still recovering from his injuries.
On December 6, a gunman opened fire on the UNLV campus killing three professors, but if it wasn’t for these two metro officers, Jacob Noriega and Ty Vesperas, helping the fourth shooting victim, the man may not have survived.

“If it wasn’t you, two minutes later we could’ve lost somebody, so I’m very proud of my son for doing that,” said Kirt Vesperas, father of officer Ty Vesperas.
