A 7-year-old boy found dead in Mountain Springs in May had been strangled, the Clark County coroner’s office confirmed on Thursday.
Homicides in Clark County rose 13.6 percent during the first half of 2021 when compared to January through June of last year, according to records maintained by the Review-Journal.
A California man arrested last week in a three-day string of robberies and shootings in Las Vegas and Henderson has been connected to a third homicide, a senior police official said.
John Anthony Carrillo, 29, also is accused in other “criminal incidents” since Saturday, including domestic battery, grand larceny of a vehicle and robbery, police said.
