According to Metro, the Clark County coroner’s office contacted the department about five hours after the stabbing to notify police of a man who had been brought to a local hospital before he died from a stab wound to the abdomen.
The coroner’s officer later identified the victim as 42-year-old Kimothy Wright.
Metro jail booking records show that 45-year-old Darnell Davis was arrested on suspicion of murder and listed under the stabbing’s event number.
Davis is due in court for his initial appearance on Wednesday afternoon.
