It's happened again, a 3rd murder on the strip

It is the fault of that darn Beer Pong they have at O 'Sheas. The start of many fights. Yuppy College kids and plenty of beer!!!!

LOL....dude is NOT a tourist.

Do you actually know what goes on around Osheas and Flamingo after midnight?

The dude is a pimp or an associate of a pimp.

Apparently the alleged assailant is, indeed, a tourist. And the alleged victim was, at least, from out of town.

"Las Vegas police say Benjamin Hawkins, of Gainesville, killed a Utah man with one punch to the face at O'Shea's Casino.
Hawkins, who is an assistant football coach at Bradford County High School in Starke, [FL] has been booked on one count of Open Murder.
John Massie of [Roy,] Utah was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

It appears to DonDiego to have been a fatal sucker-punch.

It would seem the alleged victim was also a tourist.

From the: Deseret News :
"Moments later, John Massie, 46, of Roy, [UT] was felled by a single punch to the jaw.
'One punch,' [Police] Lt. Lewis Roberts said. 'He was out. Never got back up.'
Hawkins is black. Massie, a civilian employee at Hill Air Force Base, was white. Massie was pronounced dead less than 30 minutes later at Desert Springs Hospital in Las Vegas."

Curiouser, . . . and curiouser, . . .

From the Las Vegas Sun :

"Officers responded just before 7 p.m. [Wednesday, 6 July] to Palm Mortuary, 1325 N. Main St., on the report of a shooting following the funeral of 21-year-old Andres Armando Elena. Elena died June 25 from a stab wound to the chest after an argument between two groups on the walkway between MGM Grand and New York-New York."

So 7 mourners of the victim of the first of the three murders which are the topic of this thread were shot at the funeral home.

"[Police spokesman Bill] Cassell said the gunman, described only as a Hispanic man wearing a red shirt, escaped after the shooting in a vehicle similar to a 1974 Chevrolet El Camino.
The vehicle was described as white, with doors that have a purple background and the number '7' in a brown, 'smoky' color, police said. The car, which has chrome rims, was last seen southbound on Main Street."

Hmm, . . . chrome rims. That shouldn't be hard to find.

DonDiego suspects this story ain't near done.

At least they are doing it (killing) at the right place.

I shoot, you die, the embalmer does his thing, and you have the funeral ALL IN ONE DAY. All for the low, low, price of $199.95. But wait, there's more, act now and we will include a set of Ginsu knives.

Wow, I was in the exact location (food court at O'Sheas) just a few hours earlier grabbing a sandwich. O'Sheas is a dive.

This would never happen downtown?

If you can't feel safe partaking in an extreme drinking game (beer pong) at a place like O'Shea's, is there any hope we can find serenity really anywhere on this planet?

NO, really?
