Clark County coroner’s office rules suspicious death a homicide
The Clark County coroner’s office has ruled a suspicious death in the west valley a homicide.
Diana Cristina Rios, 24, died after she was strangled, the coroner’s office said. Her body was found Monday afternoon at the residence of 3947 Silver Dollar Ave., near South Valley View Boulevard and Pennwood Avenue.
In a statement, Metro said the apartment was vacant and under renovation. A contractor working at the house spotted another man in the home Monday afternoon. The man fled before the contractor found Rios.
The coroner’s office couldn’t confirm whether Rios lived in Las Vegas. As of Wednesday morning, no arrests have been made, Metro spokesman Michael Rodriguez said.
