The unnamed victim later died at the University Medical Center.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the two men had argued about a dog, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said. They saw each other again at the footbridge Saturday night. Allen then stabbed the victim once, <em>KSNV<\/em>, a local TV station, reported.<\/p>\n<h2>Suspect Allegedly Tried to Run Away<\/h2>\n<p>When officers arrived at the footbridge, Allen had a knife in his possession, police said. He allegedly attempted to flee from the crime scene located at Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>But Allen was soon apprehended by Metro officers and charged with murder with a deadly weapon, <em>KLAS<\/em>, another local TV station, reported. He was in custody at the Clark County Detention Center Sunday night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Allen is scheduled to appear in local court as soon as Monday. If convicted, he could face many years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>The Clark County coroner\u2019s office is expected to perform an autopsy on the victim. His identity will be released after his relatives are informed about his death, the <em>Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n<h2>Prior Violent Crime<\/h2>\n<p>The Strip has seen several violent crimes in recent months. For instance, following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-strip-murder-defendants-remain-in-jail-casino-robbery-charges-mount\/\">New Year\u2019s Eve<\/a> crime spree, Jesani Carter, 20, and Jordan Ruby, 18, were charged on 13 counts, including murder, attempted robbery with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>One of the fatal shootings occurred at the Fashion Show Mall. Another murder took place at the Palace Station. A robbery also took place at the Sahara Las Vegas parking garage. The garage robber fired a bullet at a worker, but the employee escaped injury, police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Also, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-suspect-arrested-on-murder-attempted-murder-counts-for-dozen-shootings\/\">Lee Frank Wilson<\/a>, 44, was arrested on a murder charge in connection with the shooting death last month of one victim in a hookah lounge located east of the Strip.<\/p>\n<p>Demetreus Beard, 33, succumbed to his injuries at the crime scene. Beard suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Wilson was also wounded in the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson was also charged with 12 counts of attempted murder for the alleged wounding of a dozen others during the deadly incident at Manny\u2019s Glow Ultra Lounge &amp; Restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>It is located on East Sahara Avenue.
