A 57-year-old retired Connecticut state trooper was killing during the weekend in what police said was a single punch pre-dawn confrontation with another man on a Las Vegas Strip pedestrian walkway.
Thomas W. Driscoll of Chicopee, Massachusetts, was pronounced dead early Sunday at a Las Vegas hospital of head and neck injuries, the Clark County coroner said Monday. His death was ruled a homicide.
Brandon Marcus Leath, 33, was arrested a short time later and held on suspicion of murder, Las Vegas police said.
Leath remained jailed Monday without bail pending a Wednesday court appearance on a murder charge.
