Malcom Aubry, 22, faces one count of murder in connection with his girlfriend’s death. County booking logs show that he was booked Saturday into the Clark County Detention Center, where he is being held without bail.
At about noon Saturday, a 911 caller reported that a man inside an apartment on the 3000 block of South Nellis Boulevard had asked him to call police because “he had an incident with his girlfriend,” said Metrpolitan Police Department Lt. Trish Cervantes.

According to Las Vegas Review-Journal records, her death was the 12th domestic-related killing investigated by Metro this year. That number includes fatal cases of child abuse and neglect.
On Friday, police said, another woman was found dead at the hands of her boyfriend inside a home at 1912 Cameron St. She was killed in a botched murder-suicide, and 52-year-0ld John Ricco Vannucci, faces a murder charge in her death, police said.
Aubry is scheduled to appear in court Monday morning, jail records show.
