LAS VEGAS ( KLAS ) — A man faces a charge of open murder after police said he stabbed and killed his ex-girlfriend while her young children, who found her body the next morning, were in the home, police documents said.
On Jan. 25 at around 8:45 a.m., officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department were called to a short-term rental in the 8700 block of Tom Noon Avenue, near Blue Diamond Road and Durango Drive.
When officers arrived, they found a woman with multiple stab wounds to her back, neck, and chest on the floor of a bedroom. Clark County firefighters pronounced her dead at the scene.
She was identified as 33-year-old Breyanna Sotomayor, of Las Vegas.
Shortly before police arrived, Sotomayor’s children used an iPad to FaceTime Sotomayor’s mother, who was in California, the report stated. The children told their grandmother that Sotomayor wouldn’t wake up and there was “blood all around her.”
Sotomayor’s mother then called 911 in California to request help in Las Vegas.
