Man shot, killed after 911 call

A 44-year-old man was shot and killed Monday night after police received a 911 call stating he was trying to break into a home where his wife was staying.

The wife of the slain man had called police about 8 p.m. Monday, claiming her husband had battered her, according to Henderson police.

The woman and a male friend then left the Las Vegas home and went to another friend's home near Warms Springs Road and Green Valley Parkway, police said.

The woman's husband showed up at the home about 10:30 p.m., and she called 911 about the same time to report he was trying to break into the home, Rasmussen said.

The woman's male friend shot the husband when he entered the home, Rasmussen said.
