On the night of August 20, Metro Police responded to disconnected 911 call in the 3100 block of Serrano Court. When officers arrived, they heard yelling and screaming coming from the home.

Officers knocked on the door and 76-year-old Charles Petrovic answered with blood on his clothing.

Officers then entered the home and found 70-year-old Loretta Naumann with several stab wounds. Officers then detained Petrovic. Naumann was transported to UMC Trauma where she died a short time later.

Homicide detectives were called to the scene to investigate. They found that Petrovic and Naumann lived in the home together and had been together for many years. They got into a fight and officers believe Petrovic stabbed Naumann.

Petrovic was arrested for murder with a deadly weapon and booked in to the Clark County Detention Center.
