UPDATE: 11 P.M.: Las Vegas Police have arrested one of their own for murder after investigators say she shot and killed her former son-in-law moments after his weekly, supervised visit with her grandchild.
Las Vegas Police have not named the retired police employee and did not say what may have caused the deadly encounter.
"At this point in our investigation, detectives are making an arrest of the homeowner, who lives at the residence, who is the former Metro employee and is going to be placed under arrest under one count of open murder," said Lt. Ray Spencer with Las Vegas Police.
Las Vegas police say they were called to the home in the 8500 block of Honey Vine Avenue, near El Capitan and Durango Drive around 8 a.m. for a report of shots fired.
Police officers found a man in his 30s dead from multiple gunshot wounds, according to investigators.
Lt. Spencer said through the investigation and interviews, detectives were able to determine the former Las Vegas police employee, who is in her 50s, was supervising a weekly visitation of her ex-son-in-law and her 3-year-old grandchild.
"I don't know as far as the reason why they have the visitation here but it's just the standing visitation was at seven o'clock on Monday mornings," explained Spencer.
At the conclusion of the visit,and while the 3-year-old and the mother of the child were upstairs, the retired police employee shot her ex-son-in-law multiple times, killing him, according to investigators.
"As a homicide detective, we are going to investigate every crime, regardless of who the suspect is," said Spencer
"If it's
a former employee or if it's anybody else, it makes absolutely no difference," added Spencer.
Clark County property records list the homeowner as Pamela Bordeaux.
According to this Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department annual report, Pamela Bordeaux served with the department for 24 years before retiring in 2017.
"He was pulling out the grenade launcher to put the tear gas in just in case he needed it and the one officer was grabbing a riot shield right here," said Corey Welch, who lives near the home owned by Bordeaux.
Neighbors tell 13 Investigates Bordeaux was nice and friendly but her adult daughter and her ex-husband kept to themselves.
13 Action News asked police about any restraining orders or temporary orders of protection and authorities say there were unaware of any such court orders.
The name of the victim has not been released.
