Las Vegas, NV: Las Vegas man killed in domestic dispute identified

A man who was killed during a domestic dispute Monday was identified by authorities on Tuesday.

Gustavo Guzman was shot and killed by his girlfriend, Elisa Martinez, 47, according to her arrest report. Guzman's age was not immediately released.

Las Vegas police said Martinez shot Guzman after an argument about 10 a.m. at 4450 Karen Ave., near Sahara Avenue and Lamb Boulevard.

Martinez's adult daughter told police Martinez shot Guzman once in their bedroom during the fight and then chased him into another room, shooting him several more times.

The suspect later said, "I told him not to touch me," the daughter told police.

Because Guzman did not have a weapon and Martinez was "not in fear of imminent bodily harm" when she shot him, police arrested her on a murder charge, the report said.
