On February 2, 2018, Michelle Dupree, 43, and Charles Brooks Jr., 31, were shot and killed at the Colonial Grand at Desert Vista apartments, 3305 E. Rome Blvd., in North Las Vegas. The Clark County coroner ruled both deaths homicides from multiple gunshot wounds. Neighbors reported hearing an argument just before the shootings around 5 a.m., and that altercation is believed connected to the killings.

Police identified Caleb Perez Maxey, 50, as the primary suspect and said he was Dupree’s former companion. Maxey was located and arrested a few hours later in the 700 block of East Naples Drive in Las Vegas. He was booked on two counts of open murder with a deadly weapon and one count of aggravated stalking; investigators say he is the only suspect. What additional details about the relationship or the timeline might help explain how the confrontation escalated to violence?
