The Clark County coroner’s office on Thursday identified a man police said was killed in his mobile home.

Leonel Blandon Flores, 57, of Las Vegas, died from blunt injuries of the head and neck, according to the coroner’s office.

A woman called the Metropolitan Police Department around 12:50 p.m. Tuesday to report her son and brother had been fighting at the Sandhill Valley mobile home park, 4470 E. Vegas Valley Drive, Metro said at the time.

The woman found blood on the walls and the floor of the home, police said, and Blandon Flores was dead in the back bedroom.

Police said the nephew, Jorge Portell, 27, was arrested at the scene and suspected of hitting the man with a “blunt force instrument.”
