LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department detectives have arrested a 50-year-old man in connection with a fatal stabbing that occurred earlier this month on Paradise Road.
Anthony Vera was taken into custody on February 17, 2026, and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of Open Murder with the Use of a Deadly Weapon, according to police officials.
