Suspicious death reported in northwest Las Vegas, police say

Updated January 18, 2019 - 8:57 pm

Las Vegas homicide detectives are investigating the suspicious death of a woman in the northwest valley on Friday.

Police were called at about 2:30 p.m. to a residence on the 3700 block of Bronco Billy Court, near North Durango Drive and West Alexander Road, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Richard Meyers said.

When police arrived, they determined the situation was suspicious and called homicide detectives to investigate the scene, Meyers said.

Metro homicide Lt. Ray Spencer said further updates would not be available Friday night, as detectives are waiting for an autopsy on the woman, who was found dead with a gunshot wound, to determine if her death was a homicide.
