Two people suspected in the slaying earlier this year of a 41-year-old Moreno Valley man were awaiting extradition Wednesday from Nevada.
Michael Dwight Harris, 34, of North Las Vegas and Tatiana Tene Parks, 34, of San Bernardino were arrested last week by Las Vegas Metro Police Department officers based on active felony warrants originating from Riverside County.
According to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, the pair were booked into the Clark County Detention Center, where they’re being held without bail, pending extradition proceedings.
Harris was arrested for alleged homicide and Parks for being an alleged accessory in the death of Roshadd Johnson on Jan. 28.
Officials said Johnson was at his residence in the 13600 block of Red Mahogany Drive shortly before 2 a.m. when Harris allegedly confronted him, shooting him for unspecified reasons.
The suspect fled with Parks’ help, authorities alleged.
Witnesses called 911, and patrol deputies reached the location minutes later, finding Johnson in grave condition. He was taken to nearby Riverside University Medical Center, where he died six hours later.
Central Homicide Unit detectives took over the investigation, and over the ensuing two months, they were able to confirm the identity of the alleged shooter and his cohort, culminating in arrest warrants being issued.
Harris and Parks were located and arrested without incident in Las Vegas on April 8, according to the sheriff’s department.
Background information on the suspects was unavailable.
