A man is facing a murder charge in connection with a deadly robbery Saturday in the central valley.

Booking logs and jail records show that 22-year-old Phillip McGreggor was booked Sunday into the Clark County Detention Center in connection with the death of Jermele Rayvone Watkins, 28. He died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Clark County coroner’s office.

McGreggor’s 48-hour-hearing is scheduled for Monday morning.
