ORIGINAL STORY
HENDERSON (KTNV) -- The Henderson Police Department report an arrest has been made in the homicide investigation that involved the death of two children earlier this week.
Jovan Trevino, 33, was identified as a suspect by Henderson authorities after they found the bodies of two children at a home in the 700 block of Calamus Palm Place, near Galleria Drive and Gibson Road, on Monday night.
Paramedics say they arrived at the scene and confirmed that two juveniles, later said to be a 1-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy, were beyond assistance and deceased.
The HPD originally said the children's deaths were suspicious in nature and that the incident was being investigated as a homicide.
