The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) has identified the suspect as 39-year-old Brandon Tenorio, who has been taken into custody and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of open murder with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon, and kidnapping with a deadly weapon.

The lifeless body of Tenorio’s girlfriend was discovered by the police, who responded to a distress call, at a home near Fort Apache and Gowan roads at approximately 8 p.m. The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed to the public at this time, was found to have suffered from severe trauma and apparent stab wounds. Tragically, medical first responders pronounced her dead at the scene, leaving the community shocked and devastated.
