When North Las Vegas resident Na’Onche Osborne was shot and killed at the Aliante casino last month, the investigation was led by the North Las Vegas Police Department, not the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s Enforcement Division.
Even though the Control Board has a force of 93 sworn Category II peace officers certified by the state that can investigate and make arrests for criminal activity, it instead focuses on gaming-centered crime.
Aerion Warmsley, 19, is accused of fatally shooting Osborne, son of former state senator and one-time North Las Vegas mayoral candidate Pat Spearman inside the casino. Warmsley also is alleged to have participated in a crime spree before and after the shooting, fleeing from police, and carjacking and injuring multiple people.
