A man fatally shot at South Point Hotel Casino was facing child pornography charges in California just days before the incident. Cesar Reyes II, 26, posted a $30K bond in California before traveling to Las Vegas.

Family members alerted hotel security after discovering a suicide note at Reyes' California residence. When security attempted to enter his room, they heard what appeared to be a gun being racked and immediately retreated.

After failed negotiations, SWAT deployed explosives to breach the door. Reyes charged at officers while holding a shotgun, leading Officer Zachary Adam to fire a fatal shot. Though the shotgun was later found to be unloaded, Reyes also possessed a handgun. The incident is under routine review.

In separate incidents:

• At Stockmen's Casino in Elko, William Corgan, 35, was arrested for attempted sexual assault after allegedly harassing and trying to grope a woman. The victim defended herself, causing facial injuries to Corgan. He was held on $5K bail.

• A car fire occurred in Foxwoods Resort Casino's Fox Tower Garage on Christmas. Fire crews quickly contained the blaze, with no injuries reported and minimal disruption to casino operations. The cause remains under investigation.
