In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, while most sensible folks were snug in their beds or snoring their way through another dream of untold riches, a more abrupt fate met one unfortunate soul in the parking lot of Dotty’s Casino.
According to Lt. Robert Price of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, the trouble started around 4:15 a.m. on West Charleston Boulevard, near Jones Boulevard. A man in his 30s, who likely thought he had a full day ahead of him, found himself engaged in a spirited exchange of ideas with an occupant of a sedan that had pulled into the lot.
Sadly, the sedan’s occupant offered the most persuasive argument known to man—a bullet. By the time officers arrived, the man was beyond the need for medical assistance, having permanently retired from life’s daily struggles.
The sedan, meanwhile, made a swift exit north on Jones Boulevard, taking with it any immediate clues about the identity of its occupants. Descriptions of the vehicle and the trigger-happy philosopher within remain elusive, but rest assured, the keen minds of the LVMPD are on the case.
Those feeling particularly civic-minded—or having a juicy tidbit—are encouraged to contact the LVMPD’s homicide section at (702) 828-3521. For those wanting to keep their names out of future woe, Crime Stoppers can be reached anonymously at (702) 385-5555.
