Las Vegas news, Nevada news.

A Las Vegas man turned himself in Thursday days after his girlfriend was found dead with four gunshots to the back of the head.

Tracy Coleman recalled how Markeem Bunson promised to get her daughter, Renise Wolfe, home safe after a holiday party the night before she was found slain at her apartment.

“Please get my daughter home safe,” Coleman asked Benson Saturday. “I’ll get her home safe.”

“I’ll take care of her, I promise.”
