“Jail records show Quenton M. Brown, 57, was booked sometime Thursday morning on suspicion of attempted murder,” the report read. “His first court appearance is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. … He had a prior arrest by Henderson Police back in 2016 on suspicion of battery resulting in substantial bodily harm.

“The passenger door of the SUV hit the driver’s side door, and the woman said her boyfriend got out to check for damage,” the report continued. “The other man in the SUV was immediately confrontational, said “it was just a bump” and called the boyfriend a “b**** a**,” the woman told police. Her boyfriend slapped a side mirror on the SUV in response, and the man asked “if he wanted to go,” to which the boyfriend said yes.”
“After the boyfriend turned his back, the man from the SUV “briskly walked after him while producing [an] unknown object from his right side,” the girlfriend said. The man “swung his arm in a straight stabbing motion and struck [the boyfriend] in his back.” The man from the SUV then hit him several times in the stomach, and the boyfriend tried to fight back. He ran back to the girlfriend’s car, and they drove away to a pharmacy near Fort Apache Road and Sahara Avenue to wait for an ambulance.”
The victim is reportedly in critical condition.
