The two men accused in last month\u2019s death of a Dotty\u2019s Las Vegas casino manager were self-identified as an uncle and his nephew. The younger man also paid the older man about $1,100 for finding a jackpot winner to rob in the gaming venue, authorities claim.<\/p>\n

James Holmes, 54, told police he is the uncle to the younger man, Samuel Schmid<\/a>, 28. But police believe Schmid’s aunt and Holmes are actually \u201cin a long-term dating relationship,\u201d according to police reports.<\/p>\n

Both Schmid and Holmes recently appeared in Las Vegas Justice Court. They are scheduled to reappear on June 20 for a preliminary hearing in the case. Both were being held in Clark County Detention Center Friday without bail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They are charged with the May 11 robbery at the Jones Boulevard and Flamingo Road Dotty\u2019s venue.<\/p>\n

Messages Sent to Schmid<\/h2>\n

While Holmes was in the casino, he allegedly watched players and spotted a female jackpot winner. He described her to Schmid while on Facebook Messenger.<\/p>\n

She was wearing a black sweater and black pants, reported KLAS<\/em>, a local TV station, based on police documents. She was at a gaming machine. She was white and \u201cvery skinny,\u201d the report adds.<\/p>\n

It was apparent Holmes was describing [the victim], who \u2026 Schmid robbed moments after messaging with James Holmes,\u201d <\/strong>KLAS<\/em> reported, citing the police report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She had won approximately $30,000 that day while gambling.<\/p>\n

Aunt Identified<\/h2>\n

Holmes left the venue with another woman, Debra Herreman, KLAS <\/em>said. She is Schmid\u2019s aunt, police said.<\/p>\n

\n

Some nine minutes later, Schmid arrived at the venue. He soon allegedly grabbed the woman\u2019s pocketbook. It appears at least some of the winnings were inside the pocketbook.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She was injured from the force used in the theft.<\/p>\n

Schmid then ran outside to a stolen Mercedes Benz SUV in a parking lot, police said. He got into the Mercedes.<\/p>\n

The venue manager, Alicia Gibellina, 60, ran after him. She went up to the SUV and confronted him. Schmid then allegedly displayed a firearm.<\/p>\n

Gibellina backed away from the SUV and moved behind the vehicle. The SUV was suddenly placed in reverse.<\/p>\n

\n

Gibellina was struck by the vehicle and run over. She suffered serious injuries and later passed away. The SUV was driven away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Less than a week later, Schmid was located in Southern California. He was extradited to Nevada and is facing several charges.<\/p>\n

These include conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, battery resulting in substantial bodily harm, and open murder with the use of a deadly weapon, KTNV<\/em>, another local TV station, reported.<\/p>\n

Holmes was also apprehended. He faces charges of open murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery, police said.<\/p>\n

\n

So far, Herreman has not been charged in the incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
