The man accused of fatally shooting another man at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Lake Tahoe will be held without bail, a Nevada judge ruled on Tuesday.
Tahoe Township Justice of the Peace Richard Glasson rejected a request to set bail for the defendant, Edgar Delgado, 24, of California, who is charged with first-degree murder after he allegedly shot Omar Reyes Garcia, 32, of South Lake Tahoe, Nev., at the Stateline gaming property on March 25.
Prosecutor James Sibley argued in court that Delgado isn’t entitled to bail, according to the Record-Courier, a Nevada newspaper. Sibley also showed a video of the shooting and played a recording of the 911 call made by a casino security guard to report the crime.
More than a dozen of the victim’s relatives and friends were at Tuesday’s hearing. The victim’s relatives wrote statements that demanded Delgado be kept behind bars. They were read by Sibley in the courtroom.
“Delgado has proven to be dangerous and already attempted to flee,” the victim’s brother, Cesar Garcia, said in his statement.
Delgado has yet to enter a plea in the case. He’s scheduled to next appear in court on June 12.
