Murder of Jeff German: Suspect's photos released, police say journalist's killer was 'casing the area'
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: A total of two photos of the suspect, wanted in connection with the murder of investigative journalist Jeff German, 69, have been released by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on Monday, September 5. The photos show the person walking dressed in an orange, long-sleeved construction attire, along with a big, wide sun hat, hiding the face of the individual, and a dark gym bag over his shoulder.
German, one of Nevada’s most accomplished journalists who worked for the Las Vegas Journal-Review, was found dead with stab wounds outside his home on Saturday morning, September 3, at 10.30 am after an altercation with the suspect. According to Capt Dori Koren from Metropolitan Police Department, police responded to the 7200 block of Bronze Circle, near North Tenaya Way, after a neighbor called 911 saying German’s body was found on the side of his home, as per Las Vegas Journal-Review. Koren further said, "We do have some leads. We are pursuing a suspect but the suspect is outstanding." Following the release of the photos on September 5, police said in a statement, as quoted by Independent, "At this time, it appears the suspect was potentially casing the area to commit other crimes before the homicide occurred."
