It’s been more than six months since Las Vegas Metro Police say 30-year-old Spencer McDonald killed three people and tried to kill another at a Southwest Valley apartment complex.
In a jailhouse interview with Channel 13, McDonald admitted to his involvement in the murders and called the victims ‘problematic.’
Police said the victims included McDonald’s own grandmother, her boyfriend and apartment maintenance worker 45-year-old Chris Brassard.
At the time, Brassard was conducting a welfare check with a co-worker when police said he was stabbed to death.
Friends and family members of Brassard are still grieving his loss and fighting for justice. They tell Channel 13 it’s been a long path to justice for him.
Originally from Massachusetts, friends remember Brassard as a devoted Boston Bruins fan, a lover of life and a big jokester.
“He’d walk into a room, we’d crack a joke here and there, Chris was really good at working a crowd,” said friend of more than 30 years Chris Kirouac. “We were both just big kids.”
