Double Murder-Suicide in South Central Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV - On October 2, 2015 at approximately 7:02 a.m., LVMPD patrol officers were dispatched to a residence in the 7200 block of Hardtack Circle to investigate a report of a shooting. A resident who lives next door to where the shooting occurred placed the 911 call after a female juvenile came to her home and reported her mother had been shot.
Arriving officers discovered a deceased female adult inside the entryway to the residence who had suffered an apparent gunshot wound. Officers quickly learned the suspect who was a neighbor, had barricaded in a nearby residence with a juvenile. A male toddler who was also in the home, was brought to safety by the first responding patrol units.
LVMPD crisis negotiators and SWAT officers responded to the scene. During the course of the event, SWAT officers entered the residence and discovered a deceased adult male and deceased male juvenile. Both were dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
