2 dead after apparent murder-suicide in northwest Las Vegas home, police say

A man and woman were found dead in the northwest Las Vegas Valley on Wednesday after what police believe was a murder-suicide.

Lt. Robert Price of the Metropolitan Police Department said a man and woman were found dead at a home on Attleboro Park Avenue, near West Alexander Road and Cliff Shadows Parkway, Wednesday afternoon.

Price said the woman, in her 20s, was found with stab wounds. He said police believe the man, her boyfriend, was found with “self-inflicting cuts to his body,” which led to his death.

The man was in his 50s, Price said. Police received the call just after 4 p.m. A relative, Price said, found the bodies after performing a welfare check.

The identities of the man and woman had not yet been released Wednesday night.
