On Monday, police went to an apartment near Las Vegas Boulevard and Carey Avenue, where they found the body of a man on the floor with stab wounds.
Police said they believe Robinson and the victim were acquaintances. Robinson was in the victim’s apartment on Monday when the two men began arguing, which led to a physical confrontation and the victim being stabbed multiple times, police said.
When the victim’s roommate came home a few hours later, she found him dead on the floor of the apartment and called police.
