A man accused of a stabbing rampage on the Las Vegas Strip that left two people dead and six others wounded will be charged with murder, the Clark County district attorney said.
Digiovanni was part of the Best Showgirls In Vegas modeling and talent agency, according to Cheryl Lowthorp, who runs the business.“Maris always saw the best in people, always gave them a chance, and always accepted people for who they were,” it said. “... She was a beautiful spirit and soul, and we’ll miss her for the rest of our lives.”Digiovanni was fatally stabbed as one of the showgirls held her and was herself stabbed in the back.
A witness told Las Vegas TV station KTNV that the suspect told a woman that he was a chef who wanted to take a picture with some of the showgirls with his knife. But he started stabbing people when the group declined the man’s offer.Dewaun Turner, 47, a porter at The District at Resorts World, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he was walking home when he saw two people dressed as showgirls in red dresses and heels fleeing from a man with a knife.
The case is a “hard-to-comprehend murder investigation,” Metropolitan Police Deputy Chief James LaRochelle said. Two of the surviving victims went to Sunrise Hospital Trauma Center. One was in good condition and another in fair condition Friday, said Marissa Mussi, a hospital spokeswoman.The remaining four went to University Medical Center. Officials did not immediately return a message asking about their conditions.In her 12 years operating the agency, she said the models have pretty much gone day to day “without incident.
