Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Investigate Downtown Homicide

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas Metropolitan Police say they're investigating a homicide in the downtown area.

They say a man in his late 20s was in a parking lot near Freemont Street working on his car Saturday evening when a man in his 40s came up to him.

The two men began arguing and the older man stabbed the younger man in the head.
