Trial set for black suspect in 2009 slaying of White Metro Police officer
   The trial of a man accused of gunning down a Metro Police officer during a botched robbery at the officer’s home in North Las Vegas has been set for Nov. 10, nine days short of the fifth anniversary of the shooting. The suspect, Prentice Marshall, was identified by Metro Police as one of six Wood gang members involved in the Nov. 19, 2009, slaying of Trevor Nettleton, a three-year Metro veteran. Nettleton, who was not in uniform, arrived home from work shortly before midnight when he was confronted and shot in his garage in the 1100 block of Emerald Stone Avenue, near Lone Mountain Road and Donna Street. Police said it was one of two robberies gang members planned and attempted to carry out. According to police, Nettleton returned fire before he was killed, striking Marshall once in the groin. The state is seeking the death penalty for Marshall, 23, and Saul Williams, 25, whose trial is set for Sept. 22. Two other men — Adrian Pena, 23, and Quadrae Scott, 23 — have since pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Another two defendants, brothers Michael and Emmitt Ferguson, pleaded guilty to reduced charges of accessory to murder. - (Black-on-white) |
