Suspect in deadly southeast Las Vegas Valley shooting arrested
An arrest has been made in the deadly shooting last month in the southeast Las Vegas Valley.
Calvin Beasley Jr., 39, was booked Friday into the Clark County Detention Center on suspicion of open murder with a deadly weapon, according to a Metropolitan Police Department release.
Police responded to a call at 2:15 p.m. June 18 in the 3600 block of Indios Avenue, near Boulder Highway and East Flamingo Road. They found a man suffering from a gunshot wound, Metro Homicide Lt. Robert Price said at the time.
Two men were arguing in the middle of the street when the victim walked away, according to Price. He said the suspect then shot the victim, identified by the Clark County coroner’s office as Derek Siano, 27, and left the scene.
Siano was transported to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Beasley, who had refused to be transported to Las Vegas Justice Court on Tuesday, is scheduled for a status check hearing on Wednesday.
