He “did not inform Howell that he could not have a firearm in the hotel nor did he contact law enforcement,” the complaint states. Parents approached him at the pool and told him the area was closed and he had to leave. 1, 2019, patrons at Green Valley Ranch called security to report that Shannon Howell had been walking around with a handgun, according to the complaint. Security guards Karl Stephens, Larry Norman, Jesus Arellano and Richard Parents also are named as defendants.Ī spokesman for Red Rock Resorts, which owns Green Valley Ranch, declined to comment on the lawsuit Monday, citing pending litigation. Howell’s son, Dalton Howell, is seeking damages for false imprisonment, assault, wrongful death and negligence. It also states that Howell “was under no legal obligation to follow the commands of (the security guards) nor did he have time to comply with any commands before he was shot.” The complaint, filed last week in Clark County District Court, alleges that the guards who shot 53-year-old Shannon Howell a combined 23 times “had no lawful authority to issue commands to Howell.” The son of the armed man who was gunned down by two Green Valley Ranch Resort security guards on New Year’s Day 2019 has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the casino and four of its employees.
