Barrios was detained Thursday and booked into the Clark County Detention Center, police said. He was charged Friday with two counts of open murder with use of a deadly weapon and six counts of attempted murder.
Turner said he and another bystander considered chasing the suspect but called 911 instead and tried to provide a suspect description. From his vantage, he said he could see the suspect stab a man and two women at two locations. Another victim told a detective he was walking on the strip with his wife when he saw a man running toward him covered in blood. “Sorry man,” Barrios allegedly said before stabbing him in the back and fleeing south on Las Vegas Boulevard, the arrest report says.
