LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The two victims of Monday’s shooting at a Las Vegas law office — an attorney and his wife — were new parents allegedly killed by another Las Vegas attorney, sources told the 8 News Now Investigators.
The shooting happened in the Prince Law Group’s fifth-floor office during a deposition, sources said. The law office is located inside 10801 W. Charleston Blvd. near Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa.
Dennis Prince was representing his wife, Ashley Prince, during a deposition involving Ashley Prince’s ex-husband, sources said. Ashley Prince’s ex-husband’s father, Joe Houston II, was representing his son in the proceedings, sources said. Records show Dylan Houston filed for divorce from then-named Ashley Houston in 2021.
