LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A man is jailed for open murder after he fatally stabbed his roommate, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The investigation began just before 4 a.m. on Sept. 6 with reports of a stabbing inside an apartment in the 2400 block of Clifford Avenue, near Charleston Boulevard and Fremont Street.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers found a man suffering from stab wounds and provided aid until medical staff arrived, LVMPD stated. Police said the victim — who has not been publicly identified as of this report — was pronounced dead on the scene.
Detectives found the roommate, identified as 39-year-old Christian Bryant, had argued with the victim before the stabbing occurred. According to police, "Bryant left the scene after the incident and was later taken into custody by patrol officers."
Once in custody, police say Bryant was booked into the Clark County Detention Center for open murder with a deadly weapon.
