Timely Warning

February 24, 2018

In compliance with the "Timely Warning" provisions of the Federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998, University Police Services is providing the following notice and reminds students, faculty, and staff to remain vigilant at all times.

On Friday, February 23rd, at approximately 11:00 A.M., a UNLV student was the victim of a battery in the Student Union. The incident has been classified as a hate crime due to the suspect's use of homophobic slurs directed toward the victim during the commission of the crime. The suspect, a homeless male known to both the victim and Police Services, fled the Student Union after fellow students intervened and stopped further violence. UNLV Police Officers have been instructed to affect an immediate arrest if the suspect is found again on campus, and Las Vegas Metropolitican Police have notified and provided all pertinent information if they come in contact with the suspect. Police Services is confident in an imminent arrest.

Anyone with information should contact UNLV Police at (702) 895-3668.
