The LVMPD Commercial Robbery Section is attempting to identify the pictured suspect who is responsible for committing robberies to businesses in the southern part of the Las Vegas Valley during the month of May 2018. The suspect enters the business, threatens the employee with a firearm and demands money from the register. The employee complies and the suspect flees the business.
During the month of February, two victims have been identified by LVMPD Financial
Crimes detectives as being victims of a lottery ticket scam. These victims
were approached by a suspect who claimed to have a winning lottery ticket and needed
legal assistance to cash it.
LVMPD patrol officers were dispatched to a lounge located in the 900 block of East Karen Avenue for a report of multiple shots being fired into the business from the parking lot. Officers located a victim inside of the business suffering from a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the leg. As the suspect walked by the lounge on foot, he pulled out a firearm and shot into the business without warning. There were multiple people inside the business during the incident but no one saw the suspect.
Las Vegas police and animal control captured a bull Wednesday morning after it roamed through central Las Vegas for several hours.
Officers identified a second suspect in a deadly shooting and abduction Wednesday in the west valley, police said. Jessica Tolentino-Arciga, 26, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on Wednesday in connection with the incident, according to police. Officers previously accused Joseph L. Fernandez Jr., 27, of breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home just before 4 a.m. He is suspected of abducting his ex-girlfriend, Mandy Hernandez, in a gray BMW sedan and shooting her friend.
