Las Vegas man arrested in stabbing of two juveniles in Heritage Ranch
A Las Vegas man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly stabbing two juvenile relatives of his during an altercation.
Around 7:30 PM on April 1, deputies responded to the 4900 block of Bucktail Lane in Heritage Ranch to investigate a reported incident of assault with a deadly weapon. 39-year-old Romen Homero DeLeon had reportedly gotten into a fight with two juveniles, ages 14 and 17, during which he had allegedly stabbed both of them.
DeLeon himself had also been stabbed and fled the scene in a car, but was soon stopped by deputies and taken to a hospital for medical clearance.
Authorities say nobody’s injuries were life-threatening.
DeLeon has since been booked on suspicion of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm, and willful cruelty to a child with the possibility of injury or death.
