LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas police arrested a man this week in connection to a fatal shooting earlier this month north of downtown Las Vegas.
The investigation began on Jan. 2 when someone called 911 to report a person found dead in the area of Owens Avenue and Stocker Street (just east of Interstate 15).
When county medical examiners performed an autopsy, they determined the person died from a gunshot wound and ruled his death a homicide.
Homicide investigators with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department ultimately identified 30-year-old Connor Demots as the suspect in this case, according to a news release the department shared on Wednesday.
Officials say Demots was arrested on Tuesday, Jan. 14 and booked into the Clark County Detention Center for open murder with a deadly weapon.
As of this writing, the Clark County Coroner's Officer had not publicly identified the victim.
