Henderson man faces murder charge in woman’s stabbing death

Police have identified a man arrested for fatally stabbing a woman in a Henderson home.

Michael Kaplan was booked Saturday on one count of open murder. The 48-year-old is being held at the Henderson Detention Center.

Authorities say they received a 911 call earlier in the day reporting that someone at the home needed emergency medical attention. Responding officers found a 30-year-old woman dead and with a possible stab wound.

Kaplan was taken into custody at the scene.

Three children ages 7, 3 and 3 months were in the home. They are now in the care of Child Protective Services.

The Clark County Coroner's Office will determine the woman's identity and official cause of death.

Police did not disclose how Kaplan and the victim were related.
