Homicide detectives are investigating after a body was found Saturday afternoon northwest of Las Vegas.
People riding horses found the body just after 12:55 p.m. near Cold Creek and Bugling Bull roads. Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Trish Cervantes said the death appeared suspicious and confirmed the Police Department’s homicide unit responded to the scene.
The body was off the roads and trails “quite a bit,” Cervantes said.
