Elonda Alexander, 38, was apprehended by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) on July 9 for the July 8 stabbing<\/a> in the Aztec Inn<\/a> casino, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I hope you die,\u201d Alexander yelled at the unnamed victim during the attack, according to the news report. She also reportedly swore at the victim.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Over two weeks after the stabbing, Alexander remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center<\/a>. Her bail is $20K. She was charged with battery with the use of a deadly weapon and a second count.<\/p>\n

Her case was turned over to local prosecutors. If Alexander is convicted on the charges, she could face a prison sentence.<\/p>\n

Victim Was Hospitalized<\/h2>\n

The unnamed victim was injured in the back from the repeated stabbings.<\/p>\n

After receiving medical care, she was released from the hospital and is expected to recover from the many wounds she received, according to KLAS<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police didn\u2019t reveal details on the injuries or say if the injured woman required surgery.<\/p>\n

Suspect Confessed<\/h2>\n

Alexander confessed to the stabbing when speaking to police officers, the report added. Alexander also acknowledged she knew the victim long before the two were at the gaming property.<\/p>\n

The duo smoked methamphetamine<\/a> (meth) together just hours before the attack, KLAS<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

\n

The two women and an unnamed man then went to the casino to gamble. It\u2019s not clear how long they were at the Aztec before the victim and Alexander got into a dispute that escalated into the stabbings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After the incident, Alexander hurled the knife onto the gaming floor before fleeing the crime scene. An employee spotted the knife and took it to the casino\u2019s lost and found department where it was recovered by LVMPD officers.<\/p>\n

LVMPD officers also watched video from casino surveillance cameras before making the arrest. The video captured some scenes connected to the attack.<\/p>\n

Alexander wasn\u2019t injured during the confrontation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
