Romel Valdovinos, 35, a Hispanic/Latino male, was slain in Las Vegas on July 8, 2010.

A Clark County grand jury later indicted two men—Carlos Lopez-Lauro, then 49, and Mario Gamboa-Cruz, then 24—on November 22, 2013, alleging murder with use of a deadly weapon, robbery with use of a deadly weapon, first-degree kidnapping, and related conspiracy counts, and stating the killing occurred on or around July 8, 2010. Both were reported to be in custody at that time. Court developments show Gamboa-Cruz entered an Alford plea to first-degree murder and a 2018 Nevada Court of Appeals order affirmed the conviction, while corrections records indicate Lopez-Lauro remained imprisoned on a Clark County kidnapping conviction tied to the same period.

The available documents do not describe where Valdovinos was attacked, how the encounter unfolded, or the motive. Does anyone have information about Romel Valdovinos, where he lived or worked, or details about what happened on July 8, 2010?
