Arrestee Admitted to Palms Casino Killing a Prostitute, Claiming He Had a "Mental Snap" to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
In a tragic turn of events, Larissa Garcia, a woman who was reportedly an escort, was found dead at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on June 21. According to media reports, Garcia, who was in her early 30s, was declared brain dead at the scene.
The incident came to light when Jason Kendall, an Army veteran, sought Garcia online, where she advertised her services under the working names "Andrea" or "Dallas." When Kendall arrived at the casino, Garcia was found prone on the floor with a facial wound. Initial reports suggest that the LVMPD did not respond immediately as Kendall indicated Garcia had overdosed. It was later revealed that Palms security responded to the incident and found Garcia in distress.
Doctors later confirmed that no alcohol or drugs were in Garcia's system. A nurse who examined her while she was still alive reported that Garcia was strangled and possibly suffocated.
The incident led to a possible double murder-suicide on a tribal land, as Kendall was later found dead. However, there are no search results or credible information available regarding a confession or investigation involving Jason Kendall in the murder of Larissa Garcia at the Palms Casino Resort. The documents and sources retrieved do not mention this case or individual in this context.
As of now, Kendall is being held without bail until his next court appearance on Tuesday. Despite his military background, his service history has not yet been made public. The investigation into this tragic incident continues.
