North Las Vegas Police Arrest Woman Suspected of Dual Stabbing Attempt on Decatur Boulevard

A woman was arrested in North Las Vegas on charges of attempted murder after allegedly stabbing two other women on October 3, police said. The suspect, identified as 38-year-old Synetta Harper, stands accused of the violent attack that occurred in the vicinity of Decatur Boulevard and Ann Road, as stated by 8 News Now.

Authorities reported that the two victims were walking along Decatur Boulevard when Harper purportedly stabbed them both at least once. After the stabbings, the suspect fled the scene, as per the information obtained by North Las Vegas Police Department. The victims were transported to the hospital and have since been discharged. Close to three weeks post the incident, on Tuesday, a team known as the Criminal Apprehension Team, located Harper in the 3300 block of North Decatur Boulevard, but, she refused to leave her apartment and, consequently, barricaded herself inside, as per KTNV.

The KTNV report details that this led to the dispatch of the North Las Vegas Police Department SWAT team, who managed to apprehend Harper after the standoff. Following her arrest, Harper was booked into the North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center on a dual count of attempted murder.

Residents or witnesses who have information pertaining to this case are encouraged to come forward, said authorities. They urge those who can help to contact the North Las Vegas Police Department at 702-633-9111 or, for those wishing to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers of Nevada is available at 702-385-5555, as reported by 8 News Now. The investigation is ongoing as police continue to gather evidence which could shed light on the circumstances that prompted the unprovoked attack and whether there were any preceding events that led up to the violence.
