Maintenance man dead after attack by tenant being evicted in Las Vegas, prosecutors say | Local Nevada

Prosecutors said Monday that a maintenance man stabbed in the neck by a tenant being evicted has died.

Victor Vondrasek, 46, is accused of attacking Orlando Sosa at an apartment in the 6600 block of South Sandhill Road, near East Sunset Road Tuesday.

Vondrasek, who was wielding a machete, was then shot in the face by Sgt. Deputy Constable Mark Ruesch.

In court Monday, Vondrasek appeared in jail custody, his face bloody and bandaged.

Deputy District Attorney Rachel Krumm told Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Eric Goodman that Vondrasek is being charged with murder with use of a deadly weapon instead of the prior attempted murder charge related to the attack on Sosa.

She indicated that Sosa died Friday.

Goodman appointed the public defender’s office to represent him.

Vondrasek’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 25.
