Police were called to the 2100 block of Paradise Road just after 8:10 a.m. March 22 regarding a man who was possibly dead in a vacant lot.

The Clark County coroner and Metro homicide detectives were called and discovered that the victim was suffering from possible blunt force injuries, police said.
