On the 4th of May, a caller reported a stabbing at a North Las Vegas apartment complex. Upon arriving at the location, the authorities identified a 25-year-old male with a chest wound. The man was transported to the University Medical Center. He passed away later that day.
Following the man’s death, the authorities arrested Dymund Ellis, the man’s 19-year-old roommate.

Ellis was sitting in the room, watching TV, when Jace Ernst, her roommate, and lover entered the room and sat next to her.
Allegedly, the man began talking with Ellis while her show was on. The Nevada woman asked Ernst to keep quiet, as she had trouble hearing the voices on TV.
The man taunted her for a while. Ellis threatened to drive a knife through his heart if he wouldn’t stop. Of course, Ernst continued in taunting the woman.
According to the detectives, the Nevada woman left the room, went to the kitchen, and returned with a butcher’s knife.
Without uttering a word, she drove the knife through Ernst’s chest, damaging his hearing.
