On a tragic day in Las Vegas, Nevada, the life of a young Hispanic male, Asia Marie-Angelique Griego, was cut short at the age of 24. His body was discovered on the morning of June 5, 2018, by people taking a walk in Wetlands Park. When officers arrived at the scene, they found that he had been fatally shot in the back of the head and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Clark County coroner later ruled his death a homicide.
At the time of the discovery, it was unclear to investigators whether he had died at the park or if his body had been brought there after the fact. He was found slumped over in a heavily vegetated area approximately 300 yards from the park's visitor center.
Following an investigation into the untimely death, two suspects were taken into custody. The individuals arrested in connection with the murder were identified as 21-year-old Michael Wilson and 23-year-old Jessica Perez. Detectives were able to gather enough evidence to link them to the crime. The motive behind the shooting was reportedly related to a personal dispute between the suspects and the victim. The arrests brought a measure of relief to his grieving family and friends, who were devastated by their loss. The case remains under investigation as authorities continue their work to ensure justice is served for him.
