LAS VEGAS (KTNV) – Las Vegas police are investigating what they say is a “suspicious death” at the west end of the valley.
According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Lieutenant Dave Valenta, construction workers found the body of a man in the desert area north of Alta Drive and Cross Bridge Road, west of 215, no. at 7 in the morning.
The man had a head injury, according to police.
“It’s not a very busy area, it looks like it’s where some equipment is housed, so it’s not in the center of a construction site,” Lt. Valenta said.
“It’s a popular hiking area, in addition to storing some building materials.”
Valenta said that according to the preliminary investigation, police do not believe the body took long to the location.
The coroner’s office will release the man’s identity and cause of death at a later date.
Anyone with information can contact police at 702-828-3521 or email [email protected].
You can also call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555 and remain anonymous.
The death is still being investigated.
