Two arrested for 1997 slaying

Thursday, April 29, 1999 | 10:22 a.m.

Police say another man involved in a love triangle was apparently the target when George Veit Jr. was shot to death at a northeast Las Vegas repair shop.

Keith Joseph Shanley, 29, and Steven Acosta, 33, were arrested Wednesday.

Police Sgt. Ken Hefner said Veit, 42, was the victim of a murder for hire plot with a tragic twist. Police say the gunman made a mistake and shot the wrong man at the Best Auto body shop 14 months ago.
