LAS VEGAS (AP) - Authorities are trying to identify the person or people who vandalized a park named in honor of a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer ambushed and fatally shot while on duty in 2014.
Las Vegas deputy city marshals sought the public’s assistance in identifying those responsible for the destruction of approximately 25 trees at Alyn Beck Memorial Park in northwest Las Vegas, city officials said Saturday.
City marshals discovered the damage Thursday. Some of the trees were lying in the parking lot and others were snapped from their base or had branches sawed off.
City officials estimate the value of the trees totaled $55,000.
Beck and Officer Igor Soldo were killed while having lunch when they were shot by a couple who also killed a third person. The couple eventually died in a gunfight with other officers.
The park was opened Jan. 31.
