The man wanted in the Sunday slaying of a woman found dead by her daughter in her southwest Las Vegas home has also been found dead, and Las Vegas police said Tuesday they suspect suicide.
Charles Anthony Falsetta Jr., who had a longstanding relationship with the woman, appears to have shot himself, the Metropolitan Police Department reported. Police gave no further details about where Falsetta was found or when he shot himself.
Kristina Vladislavich, 39, died after being shot in the head, the Clark County Coroner’s Office said.
Police responded Sunday to a report of a woman dead inside a home in the 9000 block of Palmas Altas Street, in a gated community near Blue Diamond and Fort Apache roads.
According to information provided by Lieutenant Jason Johansson and the coroner’s office, Vladislavich was found in the main room of the house by her teenage daughter. The daughter, who had been unable to contact Vladislavich, had returned home after spending the night elsewhere, Johansson said.
Another daughter had been sleeping in a different room, Johansson said.
Johansson initially said Sunday that the man, who had been missing since the victim was found dead, was a person of interest in the woman’s death. Johansson said there had been a history of domestic disputes in the couple’s relationship.
In a press release issued on Monday, the Metropolitan Police identified Falsetta as a suspect in the murder.
On Tuesday, police announced that Falsetta had been “located by officers, found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” but offered no further details.
