Police in Las Vegas searched the home of a local elected official on Wednesday and towed away a vehicle similar to one sought in the criminal investigation of the fatal stabbing of a veteran reporter whose investigative work drew the official’s ire.
Las Vegas police did not immediately provide details about the search in their probe of the death of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German.
Telles, dressed in a white hazardous materials-style jumpsuit, did not comment when he returned home hours later and was approached by a KLAS-TV reporter, the news station reported.
In the evening, news crews watched as uniformed officers knocked on the door of the house and no one answered.
Telles had posted Twitter complaints about German in recent months, the Review-Journal reported, including claims in June that German was a bully who was “obsessed” with him.
The developments came after police on Tuesday showed a brief video of a possible suspect walking on a sidewalk clad in bright orange “construction attire,” and distributed a photo of a 2007-2014 red or maroon GMC Yukon Denali four-door SUV with chrome handles, a sunroof and a luggage rack that officials said may be linked to the case.
