Woman found dead in central Las Vegas home identified, suspect still wanted

The Clark County coroner on Saturday has identified the woman who was found dead Friday morning in the bedroom of a Las Vegas home.

Just after 12:20 a.m., officers responded to 313 Lilac Lane, near Rancho Drive and Bonanza Road where Cinthia Wendy Perez Rodriguez, 25, was found dead and partially clothed in a bedroom by a resident, police said. Two residents of the home said they did not know Rodriguez.

Police later identified 25-year-old Jaime Santana as a suspect in the killing. They said he may be driving a blue 2015 two-door Scion with Nevada license plate No. 37A563. As of Saturday morning, no suspects are in custody.

The same car appeared in a Facebook post Friday morning with the plea “HELP US FIND Wendy Rodriguez.” As of Saturday morning, a GoFundMe page has raised nearly $4,300 for Wendy Rodriguez’s funeral.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Metro’s homicide section at 702-828-3521 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
