North Las Vegas police detectives arrested two teens Tuesday in connection to two separate murders, the North Las Vegas Police Department said in a statement Wednesday.
Hector Paramo-Cervantes, 19, was arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Kristopher Cisneros. Cisneros was found May 29 in the 2100 block of Las Vegas Boulevard North, North Las Vegas police said at the time.
The Clark County coroner’s office said Cisneros died the next day from a gunshot wound to the chest.
Details about how Paramo-Cervantes was linked to the murder were not immediately available.
In the second murder, which North Las Vegas police did not disclose until Wednesday, a 20-year-old man was shot Friday and died Sunday.
The man was shot multiple times and was found around 8:45 p.m. Aug. 11 inside a business in the 5700 block of Losee Road.
The suspected shooter fled, but police said 18-year-old Aulijah Muhamad-Leavelle was arrested Tuesday at a Las Vegas home.
The man who was shot was not immediately identified by the coroner’s office.
Jail records for the men had not been released as of Wednesday morning, but police said they were both booked at the North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center on murder charges.
