Vegas Man Killed in Fall at Red Rock

Morici fell about 200 feet Saturday and had to be airlifted from the area.

Sgt. Clint Bassett of the Las Vegas Metro Police search and rescue unit said Morici was in terrain that "extremely exceeded his abilities."

Bassett said Morici was not using ropes and other technical climbing equipment necessary for the area.

Bassett said search and rescue officers went on six calls over the weekend.

"Spring break is one of the busiest times of the year for us," Bassett said.
