LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill told members of the media two men dressed in all black arrived at Piero's around 2:19 a.m. One of the suspects was on a scooter and placed the explosive near the unoccupied building, which detonated minutes later causing some damage.
The bombing was not reported to LVMPD until around 10:36 a.m. when the building's cleaning crew found the aftermath.
"When we arrived, it became obvious to us that device had exploded," McMahill said.
