The shocking violence that occurred within the walls of one of the worlds most famous Las Vegas casinos has finally reached a legal conclusion. The duo who robbed and fatally shot a man in a guest room at Caesars Palace were sentenced on Thursday, ensuring that the dark side of the nightlife scene will face justice as both will spend at least a decade behind bars.

The Perpetrators: Erika Covington and Arionna Taylor

Under a plea bargain, Erika Covington, 21, and Arionna Taylor, 22, were given the sentence by Clark County District Court Judge Tierra Jones for the May 15, 2023 murder.

The minimum they will serve in prison is 10 years. The maximum is 25 years.

How the Crime Unfolded

The incident began when Altamirano-Solano met the two women in the hotel’s valet area. A short time later, at about 2:30 a.m., the trio went up to room 535.

Minutes later, Covington and Taylor ran out of the room and into a hallway carrying Altamirano-Solano’s bag. Eight hours later, a housekeeper found the victim’s lifeless body in the guest room.

The Investigation and Conviction

Altamirano-Solano died from a single gunshot to the left chest, according to an autopsy released by the Clark County coroner’s office. The death was ruled a homicide. Authorities later matched a bullet casing found in the hotel room to a bullet found during a Las Vegas South Pecos Road domestic violence incident, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Taylor was a victim in that incident.

Covington and Taylor were identified by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers as suspects in the case. The suspects were identified through photos on Taylor’s Instagram account, hotel surveillance video, and the casing.

They told officers they didn’t remember the night’s events, according to Las Vegas TV station KSNV. Later, they were booked on several charges, including murder, robbery, conspiracy to commit murder, and conspiracy to commit robbery. Since then, they were held without bail at the Clark County Detention Center.

The Victim’s Family Speaks Out

It wasn’t enough just taking his belongings, they had to kill him,” Altamirano-Solano’s father, Victor Altamirano, told the judge on Thursday. “I ask for justice for my son.”

Nelly Altamirano, the victim’s mother, also spoke to the judge, but via a remote camera.

“The pain that I felt was so deep,” Nelly Altamirano said. “I felt like I just lost my life. I had so many questions. Why? Why my son?”

The Sentencing and Conclusion

Covington offered a brief statement before the judge announced her sentence.

I would like to send my condolences to Brian’s family,” Covington, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS. “I deeply, genuinely apologize for the grief and the pain that’s been brought to you guys’ family.”
