ORIGINAL STORY

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.

Perry was shot and killed while attempting to break up a fight between the suspects and another group of people near the parking lot.

Initially, police responded to the fight and had left because the fight was no longer happening, 10 minutes later the shooting would occur, according to authorities.
