Police arrest county official in reporter’s stabbing death
Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was arrested on suspicion of murder Wednesday evening in the fatal stabbing of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German, whose investigation of the politician contributed to his primary election loss in June.
The stunning development came a day after Las Vegas police asked for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in the case. An early morning search of Telles’ home on Wednesday provided the first indication that the Friday killing might be related to German’s work exposing public wrongdoing. The investigative reporter was pursuing a potential follow-up story about Telles in the weeks before he was killed.
Police arrived at Telles’ home on Spanish Steps Lane in the western valley around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday and blocked off nearby streets. Shortly before 9 a.m., police released a statement saying they were “currently serving search warrants” in connection with the homicide investigation.
They provided no further information until Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the Review-Journal at around 6:30 p.m. that Telles had been arrested. Shortly before that, a Review-Journal photographer captured an image of Telles on a stretcher as he was loaded into an ambulance.
Police announced Thursday that Telles’ DNA was found at the scene of the fatal stabbing. -
The reporters ask such stupid questions - I guess they get sent to his house, so they have to say something.

Some reporter actually asked the police if Donald Trump can be blamed for this murder.
By the way, the alleged murderer is a Demcrat - check the stories to see you far down you have to go to learn that. If that fact is there at all.

The Daily Mail has it in their headline. The New York Times has it about half way through the page.
My favourite news source hasn't reported it, presumably because it's so tawdry.
Fox News has a full article talking about how the other news sources don't mention he's a Democrat.

It's not really burying the lede, because political affiliation isn't the most important detail of the story.

True. Now consider how the story would have been reported if the alleged murderer were a MAGAT.

No I get that, totally valid point.
I honestly think the majority of Americans know better at this point, though.
