A Las Vegas man took his own life after gunning down his ex-partner during a children’s visitation Saturday afternoon.
Officers responded to the scene in the 700 block of Bruce Street near Bonanza Road and Maryland Parkway over reports of a woman who has been shot.
As officers approached the home, they heard a gunshot and found the man dead. The woman succumbed at a local hospital.
Investigators learned that the couple had ended a long-term relationship. The incident took place after the woman brought the children to their father for visitation.
“This is a very tragic, tragic event. We encourage anyone who has any type of domestic violence issues to reach out to support services, the FJC, the Family Justice Center,” said LVMPD Homicide Lt. Robert Price.
“It does not have to end like this.”
