Democrat Clark County official Robert Telles was arrested on Wednesday evening on suspicion of murder in connection with the murder of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German. Telles was upset with German for divulging the fact that his office was a toxic workspace and that Telles had an improper relationship with a subordinate. That caused Telles to lose his reelection bid. Police raided his home on Wednesday and towed his Burgandy SUV before arresting Telles that evening.
Telles, a Democrat, lost his re-election bid in June’s primary after Jeff German exposed the hostile work environment in the Democrat official’s office. Jeff German had also recently filed a public record request on emails and text messages between Telles and others in his office, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Robert Telles just arrived at his house. Reporters asked him if he had any comment. I asked why police towed his vehicle. He had no comment. Story: https://t.co/3CSa7B4XeS pic.twitter.com/tgQ7JuI9BX

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported:
Less than a day after asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in the stabbing death of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German, police arrested Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles on Wednesday on suspicion of murder, Sheriff Joe Lombardo said.
Hours earlier, Las Vegas police interviewed Telles and searched his home.
By 6 p.m. Wednesday, police had returned in tactical gear and were surrounding the home while Telles remained inside. About 30 minutes later, he was wheeled out of the home on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance.
The morning search marked a stunning development in the police investigation because it indicated for the first time that the killing might be related to German’s work exposing public wrongdoing. German’s investigation of Telles this year contributed to the Democrat’s primary election loss, and German was working on a potential follow-up story about Telles before he was killed.
Executive Editor for the Review-Journal Glenn Cook said Wednesday:
“The arrest of Robert Telles is at once an enormous relief and an outrage for the Review-Journal newsroom. We are relieved Telles is in custody and outraged that a colleague appears to have been killed for reporting on an elected official. Journalists can’t do the important work our communities require if they are afraid a presentation of facts could lead to violent retribution. We thank Las Vegas police for their urgency and hard work and for immediately recognizing the terrible significance of Jeff’s killing. Now, hopefully, the Review-Journal, the German family and Jeff’s many friends can begin the process of mourning and honoring a great man and a brave reporter. Godspeed, Jeff.”
