Las Vegas police investigating ‘suspicious death’ as homicide

Updated April 19, 2021 - 7:53 pm

Detetives are investigating a “suspicious death” Monday on the 2400 block of Wigwam Avenue as a homicide, an official told the Review-Journal.

At 11:32 a.m., police were called to a mobile home park in the area after they received a report of a female dead at a residence, Las Vegas police spokesman Misael Parra said.

An initial report indicated the death was a possible suicide, but homicide detectives were called to the scene, Parra said.

Metro homicide Lt. Ray Spencer confirmed Monday afternoon that detectives consider the death a homicide.

The Clark County coroner’s office will name the person found dead once relatives have been notified and determine her cause of death.

No further information was immediately available.
