Police Nab Man Sought in Vegas Double Killing

Police have arrested a man sought in the killing of two Vietnamese tourists at a Las Vegas Strip hotel-casino.

The FBI field office in Los Angeles says the suspect in the killings of two people at a Las Vegas Strip casino-hotel was located in a home in Chino.

Federal authorities say Julius Trotter was arrested after a car chase. He is being held at a jail in San Bernardino County.

Court records show Trotter was sought in the stabbing deaths of a woman who owned a Vietnamese tour group and a male tour employee.

Sang Boi Nghia and Khoung Ba Le Nguyen on Friday were found dead in a room at the Circus Circus casino-hotel.

Court records show Trotter pleaded guilty last year in Las Vegas to felony resisting a police officer with a weapon and was sentenced to five years of probation.

Jail records do not list an attorney who could comment on Trotter's behalf.
