Sun coverage
A 34-year-old man suspected of murder was arrested Tuesday night in North Las Vegas.
Francisco Mata is accused of stabbing 30-year-old Pedro Ortega-Vivanco to death and attempting to kill Hector Ortega-Gonzalez, 37. Mata is being held in the Clark County Detention Center without bail.
Mata was arrested at 3712 Glendale Ave. in North Las Vegas at about 8 p.m. Tuesday, Henderson Police said.
Henderson Police say they think Mata confronted the two men and attacked them Nov. 24 near the intersection of Lindell Road and Blue Diamond Road in Las Vegas. Ortega-Gonzalez was able to get back into his van and drive to a gas station near the intersection of Seven Hills Drive and St. Rose Parkway in Henderson.
A female clerk at the convenience store at the gas station called 911, police said. When police arrived, officials said, Ortega-Vivanco was dead in the van, and Ortega-Gonzalez was brought to a hospital and treated for stabbing wounds.

Why do all these scumbags look alike???? Thirty-seven, can you grasp his age? Do you think there is hope for him. If so, my thought is, take him into your home and make him a wonderful citizen. Yep! another loser we all get to pay for another 50 years.
Funny how many killers and their killers-to-be have hyphenated surnames. Might be a DNA thing. Something for UNLV to look into.
Of course, another mexican and a violent crime. And the legal and non-violent mexicans are grouped together with these scum bags.
Look at the scowl or is it a sneer, on Defendant Mata's face. He looks quite capable. Sometimes a picture truly is worth a thousand words.
Good job Metro..
Bet won't have that smirk on his face when Bubba pulls his pony tail while laying pipe.
