A California man was arrested for murder after a fatal stabbing in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 13.
52-year-old Anthony Reed was seen striking the victim with a sharp pick-type object in the back of the head on video surveillance.
According to the police report, the victim was with his friends outside IHOP when they were approached by Reed. Police found the victim on the ground with a pool of blood.
Medical examiners found a break in the victim’s scalp the size of the tip of an ink pen. Neurologists concluded the victim “would likely expire.”
Police arrested Reed on the day of the crime where he denied having a weapon and stabbing the victim.
Reed is currently on parole for first-degree murder in California.
Reed’s charges include open murder, parole violation, use/possession of stun gun by fugitive, possession to sell a controlled substance, and own/possession of a gun by prohibited person.
