Cops really hide full video of entry but show pieces. Overall they did OK per the Law - NOT A NO KNOCK WARRANT.
After five officers broke down the apartment door, a man on the couch opened fire. Officers Kerry Kubla, 50, and Brice Clements, 36, were shot and injured.

The officers fired 23 shots at 19-year-old Isaiah Tyree Williams of Las Vegas, who died at the scene.

In a separate case, Rembert faces 16 gross misdemeanor counts of discharging a gun where another person might be endangered, one gross misdemeanor count of injuring or tampering with a vehicle, and two felony counts of discharging a gun into an occupied structure or vehicle, court records show. He was charged in that case on Jan. 19.

Rembert’s defense attorney in the second case, Clark Patrick, refused to comment when contacted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

According to Rembert’s arrest report in the now-dismissed murder case, Thomas was shot Nov. 18 and ran into Sam’s Town, at 5111 Boulder Highway, to report that he had been injured. He died shortly after at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.

Officers said Thomas was sitting at the bus stop at about 3 a.m. Video surveillance showed an SUV near the bus stop that appeared to be waiting as two people stepped out and approached Thomas.

“Without any apparent provocation,” Thomas was shot by one of the men who both ran back to the SUV, which fled the scene, according to the arrest report for Rembert.

According to the arrest report, a woman reached out to police after the shooting and identified one of the men in the surveillance footage as her stepson, Rembert.

In the same arrest report, police said that on Dec. 18, Rembert fired several shots at a vehicle in an apartment complex, striking two nearby apartments and hitting the vehicle 14 times. The victim whose car had been struck told police she believed the shooting had to do with her car being hit by the suspect’s car a few days before, the report said.

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A 23-year-old man is no longer facing a murder charge, after the search for him led to a deadly police shooting involving a different man in Las Vegas last month.

Court records state that prosecutors dropped the murder case against Wattsel Rembert shortly after his arrest in January.

"The charges were dismissed because, at this point, there is not enough evidence to hold him for trial," LVMPD said in a statement. "He was originally arrested as a result of a family member identifying him as the suspect."

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police identified Rembert as a suspect in the deadly shooting of 30-year-old Nicolas Thomas at a bus stop near Boulder Highway and Nellis Boulevard on Nov. 18.

LVMPD said they were searching for Rembert on Jan. 10 at an apartment on Nellis Boulevard when officers exchanged gunfire with 19-year-old Isaiah Tyree Williams, who was killed in the shooting.

Rembert was taken into custody two days later and identified as a suspect in Thomas' death.

Police say they are still gathering more evidence in the case, and Rembert is being held on 19 charges related to another shooting.
