Pahrump, NV (KTNV) -- A Pahrump man allegedly shot and killed his daughter's boyfriend early Thursday morning after becoming unhappy with their relationship.

Nye County Sheriff's deputies were called to reports of a shooting at about 1:30 a.m. When they arrived, they found a 21-year-old man dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

Robbins, 46, was arrested and booked into the Nye County Sheriff's Office Detention Center and charged with murder and battery with a deadly weapon. Officials said he is being held without bail.

The victim was not immediately identified.
