LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Las Vegas police have arrested a suspect in the murder of a man whose remains were found east of the valley last year.

The victim’s remains were found on Aug. 9, 2024, near Lake Mead Boulevard and Pabco Road in a desert area. Police added that his body was found “in an advanced state of decomposition.”
An autopsy conducted on Aug. 10 found that the man suffered from gunshot wounds to the head.
