Coroner identifies man fatally stabbed at North Las Vegas house party

The Clark County Coroner has identified the man fatally stabbed early Saturday at a North Las Vegas house party.

The man, Ivan Garcia Lopez, died from multiple stab wounds Christmas Eve after a fight broke out about 2:20 a.m. during a party on the 2800 block of North Daley Street near Las Vegas Boulevard and Civic Center Drive. The 23-year-old was a resident of Las Vegas.

Police enlisted the help of a SWAT team to clear the house party, according to North Las Vegas police spokeswoman Ann Cavarrici. Three other men suffered nonlife-threatening injuries during the fight.

A preliminary investigation suggests a large group of people were arguing in the street before the fight broke out. Police made several arrests the night of the party for unrelated charges but have not identified a suspect in the stabbing.

Garcia Lopez’s death was ruled a homicide by the coroner.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help with Garcia Lopez’s funeral expenses.

Anyone with information can contact the North Las Vegas Police Department at 702-633-9111 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 to remain anonymous.
