Man fatally stabbed at central Las Vegas apartments ID’d

The Clark County coroner’s office identified the man who was fatally stabbed at a central valley apartment complex Sunday after confronting another man who was driving through the complex.

Armando Gamboa, 23, was pronounced dead at the Indian Hills Apartments, 4550 W. Sahara Ave., after he confronted the driver of a car that was going fast through the complex where children were playing, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Ray Spencer said Sunday.

Gamboa died of a stab wound of the chest, and his death was ruled a homicide, the coroner’s office said Tuesday afternoon.

The two men got into a fight after the driver got out of the car, Spencer said at the scene. The driver stabbed Gamboa, got back into his car and drove away.

Police did not believe that the two men knew each other.

As of Tuesday afternoon, police have not arrested anyone in the case, Spencer said.
