Stabbing death on MGM/NYNY walkway

https://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/jun/25/police-arrests-expected-overnight-slaying-las-vega/
I have walked that walkway many times. That walkway is very shady. Bunch of homeless people screaming at tourists for unknown reasons. People selling water like crazy on that bridge as well. The last time I went, I opted not to cross over that bridge. LV needs to put Metro or at least armed security officers on that bridge.
This would have never happened downtown.

It is reaching the point of absurdity. I had two different panhandlers approach me for money inside the Wynn. The logistics of hauling and selling the water for $1 a bottle, says there has to be some kind of scam. Vegas needs to do some housecleaning before it is too late.

Homeless water sellers stabbed the Mexicans.
I walked over the bridge quite a few times a couple weeks ago and bought some water, too. Although, I didn't cross over the bridge at 4:15 am so I don't know what goes on at that hour.

Did they get any statements from the hookers that were out and about?
1 arrested for murder. 2 groups fought in the Miracle Mile Shops over comments made about a girl. Security boke it up and made 1 group leave, but they ran into each other again on the MGM/NYNY bridge. They guy arrested has been represented 8 times in the past by the public defender's office in Las Vegas.

Kind of hard to make a statement when your mouth is full.

CORRECTION: The murdered victim and not the defendant had been represented 8 times by the public defender's office in Las Vegas.
