Arriving officers found an open door to the residence and found the body of a man in the garage, deceased from apparent stab wounds.

When the man's 17-year old male son found, he was initially unresponsive police said, but was later determined to be uninjured.

The teen was arrested and transported to the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center and is facing one count of murder with a deadly weapon.

The victim's identity was not released, and police had not made public the suspect's identity, because of his age.
