A man who killed two people and wounded six others with a large kitchen knife in a series of stabbings along the Las Vegas Strip once lived in Los Angeles, according to an arrest report.
Yoni Barrios, 32, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on two counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement. He made a court appearance Friday afternoon.According to the apartment manager, Barrios lived there more than three years ago.Barrios had apparently recently arrived in Las Vegas and wanted to get back to Guatemala, where he's from.
Police say after inquiring about work at the Wynn hotel, Barrios walked out and after an exchange with two show girls, he stabbed them with the knife. They said Barrios then ran down the street to "let the anger out" and allegedly went after more victims. The remaining four went to University Medical Center. Officials did not immediately return a message seeking their current status.
Police said they were continuing to investigate the motive but do not believe there was an altercation before the attacks.
