Police: Man jumped in front of car after fatally stabbing girlfriend

Fatal stabbing

Metro Police said a man apparently committed suicide early this morning by jumping in front of a car about an hour after police found his girlfriend stabbed to death in the southwest valley.

Police responded about midnight to an apartment complex in the 5700 block of West Tropicana Avenue, where they found a woman dead from multiple stab wounds.

About 1 a.m., the woman's boyfriend parked his cab along U.S. 95 near College Drive in Henderson and jumped in front of another vehicle on the highway, police said. He died at an area hospital, authorities said.

Investigators are calling the incident an apparent murder-suicide. Police said the stabbing victim and the man were dating and had been living together for a year-and-a-half.

The Clark County Coroner's Office will release their identities pending notification of family.
