Earl Barbeau
A North Las Vegas man has been arrested in connection with the Friday death of his wife, authorities said Sunday night.
Authorities responded at 1:15 a.m. Friday to the home of Earl Barbeau, 28, in the 3000 block of Asher Lane after he called 911 to report that his wife had committed suicide. Officers arrived to find the 38-year-old woman, Holly Michelle Barbeau, dead of an apparent gunshot wound, North Las Vegas police said.
Investigators determined that evidence was inconsistent with a suicide and detectives classified the death as a homicide. Barbeau was later arrested in connection with second-degree murder and booked into the North Las Vegas Detention Center.
Anyone with information in the case is being asked to call CrimeStoppers at 385-5555.
