A foul odor from a white BMW parked outside a Budget Suites on Tropicana Avenue led officers to a trunk on August 19, 2022, where the body of 41-year-old Amir Haggi was found. The Clark County Coroner determined Haggi died of gunshot wounds to the head and ruled the death a homicide.

Haggi was last seen alive on June 5, 2022, leaving his Phoenix home after a phone call that investigators tied to his business partner, 37-year-old Tony Danh. Employees of the Phoenix business reported missing June paychecks and an inability to contact either owner. Investigators say attempts were made the day after Haggi disappeared to access his financial accounts.

The BMW where Haggi’s body was discovered was registered to Danh and contained paperwork in his name. A Walmart receipt for cleaning supplies, roofing tar and paint rollers, plus surveillance showing a man matching Danh’s description, were recovered. Police believe the car was stored in a rented garage, later towed to the motel lot, and that Danh fled to Mexico; a multi-agency team located and arrested him in San Diego on September 29, 2022, and he was extradited to Las Vegas on an open murder charge.
