Las Vegas lawyers Joseph Houston II and Dennis Prince should never have been part of the child custody case that may have contributed to Monday’s tragic shooting, one of Houston’s acquaintances said.
A shooting victim killed Tuesday in a northwest valley apartment complex was identified as a 16-year-old Las Vegas boy.
