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.

Police said a group of men robbed Watkins on Saturday before shooting him inside an apartment at 517 N. 28th St., near Bonanza Road.

Metropolitan Police Department homicide Lt. Ray Spencer said the victim was a documented gang member and knew the men who robbed him.

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