Fourth suspect arrested for deadly home robbery in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The fourth and final suspect wanted in a deadly home robbery from earlier this year has been taken into custody, Las Vegas police have confirmed.
Brandyn Smith, 35, was booked into Clark County Detention Center on Wednesday, Nov. 16. He's facing multiple counts, including a charge of open murder.
Smith is one of four suspects identified in the killing of24-year-old Natalie Manduley on March 25.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said the killing took place during a "targeted robbery." Three armed men came into the home on Bright Nimbus and tried to rob Manduley, who got her own gun and got into a shootout with at least one of the assailants.
One of the suspects, Christine Schultz, knew Manduley and allegedly set up the robbery, aware that Manduley's boyfriend kept expensive jewelry inside the house, then-Lt. Ray Spencer said in May.
One suspect, Kamari Oliver, was taken into custody a few days after the deadly shooting. Two other suspects, Schultz andMichael Overton, surrendered to the FBI in Florida in May and were later extraditedto Las Vegas.
At the time, Spencer said there was a fourth suspect and police were still working to confirm that person's identity.
According to an arrest report, the FBI Criminal Apprehension Team determined Smith was staying with his sister. Team members spoke with Smith over the phone, and he agreed to surrender. He was taken into custody without further incident.
A warrant for Smith's arrest states that homicide detectives got an anonymous tip in March that Smith was involved in Manduley's killing. Police got a warrant to examine Smith's iCloud accounts, though the results of that search were redacted, with LVMPD citing law enforcement privilege for an open investigation.
Court records indicate Smith is being held without bail at Clark County Detention Center. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 1.
Schultz, Overton and Oliver are all scheduled to appear for status checks on Dec. 1 as well.
