John Ernest Welsh, 58, was found dead in his Las Vegas home on the night of August 17, 2022, the victim of a gunshot wound to the head. He lived with his girlfriend, 41-year-old Kimberly Warth, and Warth’s daughter; Welsh had legally adopted Warth’s two children years earlier and the couple had begun living with the daughter in December 2021. A butcher knife lay near his body when officers arrived after Warth called 911 reporting she had shot her boyfriend.

Warth initially told police she shot Welsh in self-defense, saying he threatened her with a knife and charged at her. Detectives later reviewed video and audio from cameras at Welsh’s workstation that contradicted that account. Confronted with the footage, Warth recanted, admitted Welsh had not been holding a knife, and said she staged the scene by placing the knife beside him. She told investigators she was worried Welsh might do something to the daughter. Warth was arrested and charged with open murder; she later pleaded guilty.

Does anyone have information about Welsh’s life in the neighborhood or about the household dynamics before August 17, 2022?
