The victim of a deadly fight that broke out in front of the Hawaiian Tropic Zone at Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday has been identified as 21-year-old Martin Antonio-Guadalupe of Las Vegas, the coroner's office said Tuesday.
Antonio-Guadalupe died of a stab wound in the left shoulder, the coroner's office said.
Metro Police officers were called to the club at 3367 Las Vegas Blvd. S. after a fight broke out at about 12:01 a.m. Sunday, police said.
When police arrived they found a man had been stabbed and was lying on the sidewalk. Emergency medical crews took him to University Medical Center's trauma unit, where he died, police said.
Homicide detectives discovered that a fight had broken out, and after an investigation arrested 20-year-old Desiray Ortiz of La Verne, Calif., police said. Ortiz was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a charge of murder with a deadly weapon, detention center records show. No bail was set.
Police are continuing to investigate the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call the Metro Police homicide section at 828-3521. Anyone who wishes to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 385-5555. A cash reward may be available.
