LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — One of the suspects in a deadly weekend shooting has been ordered back to Pahrump after appearing in court Thursday morning.

Carlos Blakely had a brief hearing in Justice Court. Because he surrendered himself to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, a hearing needed to be held to extradite him back to Pahrump, where he will face charges related to the death of Joey Perry.
