LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Two suspects have been arrested for allegedly beating a 62-year-old man to death in Henderson late Friday night, according to police.
Officers got a report of a battery around 10:20 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, in the 1400 block of N. Boulder Highway, north of Warm Springs Road, Henderson Police said in a statement posted to social media.
They met with a man who said he had been beaten by three men whom he didn't know. Police say the injuries were minor and a report was taken.
About an hour later, officers responded to a report of the same victim being battered by three men. The victim was found bleeding on the ground outside of a business, and police say the three suspects had driven away from the scene.

The victim was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Detectives identified two of the involved suspects as Stephon Epps, 32, and Floyd Epps, 69. They were both located and booked into Henderson Detention Center on suspicion of open murder.
Henderson Police say their investigation remains ongoing. No details were disclosed about a third person.
This is being investigated as the fourth homicide in the city of Henderson so far this year.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Henderson Police at (702) 267-4911 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.
