Deadly weekend in North Las Vegas - KTNV Las Vegas

Police are investigating a crime spree in North Las Vegas this weekend in which three people were shot and killed within 24 hours.

North Las Vegas Police arrested 21 year old Stefon Clark Friday night.  He's accused of robbing customers in an Opera House Casino restroom, and shooting and killing one of them.

But police are still looking for the shooter

who killed a teenager at a party on Putnam Avenue on Saturday night.  They're also looking for the suspect who tried to rob a man on Iverson Lane on Friday, then shot and killed him.

North Las Vegas Police say the crimes are not connected. But the common denominator in the deadly toll of 13 homicides in their jurisdiction this year is the age of those involved.

Officer Tim Bedwell says, "Generally we've been looking at people, if they weren't domestic related, the homicides and robberies we've been dealing with have been early 20's and younger."

The three men murdered in North Las Vegas this weekend are identified as 44 year old Darren Rael, 33 year old Mario De Jesus-De Jesus and 18 year old Jerry Corral. Rael and Corral's killers have not been caught.

If you have any information contact North Las Vegas Police or Crimestoppers at 385-5555. You can remain anonymous.
