Police said the attack began after Barrios approached a group of showgirls and asked them he wanted to photograph them. He reportedly told them he was a chef and wanted to take a picture with the knife.

Two other models with the agency were among the wounded while a fourth girl escaped without injury.

Multiple-homicide suspect Yoni Barrios appears in court at the Regional Justice Center, Las Vegas, after his arrest in October 2022. In December, a Clark County grand jury indicted Barrios on charges of terrorism and murder

Barrios also told a casino security guard he was trying to sell his knives that he kept in a suitcase to raise enough money to go back home, although police said his citizenship isn’t clear.
Barrios was charged in 2019 with criminal domestic violence by Los Angeles district attorney Jackie Lacey, who has since left office.
Had he been convicted, Barrios would likely have been imprisoned and deported. Lacey failed to bring the case to court in time, and after 90 days elapsed the judge was forced to dismiss the case under California speedy trial laws, according to court records.
Barrios was also prosecuted for driving dangerously and without a license in Riverside, California in 2016.
After his arrest on Thursday Barrios told detectives he was from Guatemala and wanted ICE to take him home, according to a report released by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
