The suspect in a fatal stabbing at Bally's was ordered by a judge Wednesday to be held without bail in the Clark County Detention Center.

Las Vegas police said the victim, 24-year-old Talesha Jamerson, was arguing with two women as they walked into the hotel-casino about 6 a.m. After the stabbing, Jamerson walked out of the casino, leaving behind a trail of blood, and collapsed near the valet parking kiosk. Reed, of Milwaukee, initially fled the scene.
