A man suspected of killing a woman in a Las Vegas apartment last week was found dead Saturday from an apparent suicide, police said Tuesday.
Daniel Greer, 25, was found at a hotel in the 5000 block of Koval Lane on Saturday, according to a Metropolitan Police Department press release.
Greer was suspected of shooting La’Kia Dawkins, 25, of Las Vegas, Thursday night in the 2200 block of North Torrey Pines Drive.
