Israeli man robbed, murdered in Las Vegas

An Israeli citizen was robbed and murdered in Las Vegas, authorities and community sources confirmed on Monday.

The victim’s body was discovered about a 15-minute drive from the Las Vegas Strip, the city’s famous hotel and casino corridor. Local police say the incident is still under investigation, with no suspects yet arrested and the motive still unknown.

A Chabad emissary in Las Vegas said the Israeli man had come to the city for a vacation at the hotels. He thanked those who assisted in ensuring no autopsy would be performed and that the victim’s body could be returned to Israel within 24 hours.
