LAS VEGAS (AP) A Wynn Las Vegas employee who authorities say fatally shot a security guard at the Strip hotel parking area and then killed himself left home four days earlier and was believed to be armed, according to a police report.
Reggie Tagget’s mother told Las Vegas police she last saw her son March 5, when he left his cell phone at home, climbed out a window and drove away in her car, according to a missing person report obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Family members told police that Tagget, 42, had a gun and they did not know where he was going. They said they were worried because he had been asking them for money, kept a gun, “and he drinks alcohol,” the report said.
