The victim, 23 year-old Raymond Renova, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of June 19th after a fight broke out inside Binion's. The fight eventually spilled out onto the Experience, and cell phone video showed one of the people involved pulling out and firing a gun.

On Monday, Metro announced that they had arrested Ruben Robles as the primary suspect in the shooting. Robles was arrested on Friday in the 3100 block of Nellis Boulevard. Details surrounding Robles arrest haven’t been released. He's currently being held without bail.

Robles had previously been indicted in May on two felony charges of possession with a firearm, with the trial in that case scheduled for August. Robles had pleaded not guilty to those charges.

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and Metro is asking anyone with more information to contact the LVMPD Homicide Section by phone at 702-828-3521, or by email at homicide@lvmpd.com. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 702-385-5555, or on the internet at www.crimestoppersofnv.com.
