The following numbers were provided by the North Las Vegas Police Department in response to a public records response from 360 News Las Vegas. According to the data provided, when Mayor Lee came into office murders were at 7 per year. After Lee defunded the police and public safety by some $30 million a year and kept the city jail closed, murders in North Las Vegas spiked by almost 500% in 2018 to 37 murders. Currently there are some 46 unsolved murders in North Las Vegas for Lee’s years in office so far.

There has literally been a murder every weekend over the last 3 weeks in North Las Vegas. One Sunday a few weeks ago had 2 separate murders across town from each other. Hopefully the super hot weather will help keep the killing to a minimum this weekend.

While Henderson, which spends $30 million more for their police, is regularly listed as one of the top safest cities in America, John Lee’s North Las Vegas is now listed as the murder capital of Nevada and one of the most dangerous cities in America.

Lee recently switched from Democrat to Republican to run for Nevada governor 2 months ago. Lee is running against Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo and Nevada Lawyer Joey Gilbert.
