Updated March 17, 2018 - 7:53 pm

A woman died in the east Las Vegas Valley on Saturday afternoon, and her boyfriend was taken into custody, police said.

At around 12:02 p.m., police responded a home in the 3000 block of South Nellis Boulevard after reports of a man who “had an incident with his girlfriend,” Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Patricia Cervantes said.

A woman located inside was pronounced dead at the scene, and the man was taken into custody.

How the woman died and other additional details were not immediately available Saturday, as the homicide investigation is still ongoing, Cervantes said.
