The chiefs of House Republicans’ and Democrats' campaigns, Reps. Tom Emmer and Sean Patrick Maloney, respectively, discuss the prospects of November midterms.
Longtime Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German was found dead outside his home with multiple stab wounds, the paper revealed Sunday.
German, 69, was found dead Saturday morning, and police are still investigating his death. He had worked as a newsman in Las Vegas for more than 30 years, joining the Review-Journal in 2010 after two decades at the Las Vegas Sun.
"The Review-Journal family is devastated to lose Jeff," Executive Editor Glenn Cook said in a statement. "He was the gold standard of the news business. It’s hard to imagine what Las Vegas would be like today without his many years of shining a bright light on dark places."
Police say they believe German got into an altercation with another person outside his home on Friday night. Authorities say they have "some leads."
