Las Vegas police say a man suspected in a string of shootings also fired shots that struck a window at a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, an update authorities released Saturday. The development adds to a months‑long homicide probe that has kept detectives focused on both the Strip and outlying parts of the valley, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. In a press release via Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, detectives said they have linked a suspect to multiple shootings and rebooked him on additional charges. The department identified the man as 30‑year‑old Dandre Owens, who was already in custody on open murder and weapons counts, the release says. What police say about the Strip window Investigators told the Las Vegas Review‑Journal that rounds struck a guestroom window on the Strip, sending glass into the room and prompting hotel staff to check on occupants. Authorities said the shots appeared to have come from an off‑property location and that no additional victims tied to that particular strike have been publicly identified. LVMPD’s earlier statements show the investigation remains active and detectives have asked the public for video or tips that could help the probe, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The department’s release reiterates that anyone with information should contact the Homicide Section at 702‑828‑3521. Earlier reporting laid out the allegations that touched off the probe: prosecutors say Owens lured a man, Edward Kukish, to a desert on the pretense of work and later fatally shot him, and that a second victim, Brittani Bailey, was killed after going to an on‑Strip hotel with the suspect. Prosecutors have told a judge they intend to seek the death penalty in the case, according to the Las Vegas Review‑Journal. Legal implications If prosecutors formally file capital notices the case will move into an extended pretrial phase where judges will weigh motions over evidence and the existence of statutory aggravating factors. Metro said the investigation is ongoing and urged anyone with video or other information to contact the Homicide Section. Hotels on the Strip did not immediately provide comment, and authorities said they will release more details as the case develops, as per the Las Vegas Review‑Journal. Legal implications
