Khaberni - A horrific family crime shook the American city of Las Vegas, after a 27-year-old man killed his parents by beating them to death with a baseball bat, before informing the police of his crime, asking them to shoot him on sight.
According to the magazine "People," Adrian Bailey called the Las Vegas police on Saturday and told the emergency operator that he had killed his parents, saying he "could no longer bear it."
According to the police, Bailey did not mention the address of the house during the first call, but the emergency operator was able to determine the location of the call, which was made from a house on New Brunswick Street.
In a second call from a different location, the suspect said that the police should kill him as soon as they see him, considering himself a danger to himself and others.
During the call, the emergency operator asked him if he had shot himself, to which he replied that he "had not killed himself yet, but he had done so with others."
When the police arrived at the house, they found the suspect's parents, Roger and Christine Bailey, with serious injuries resulting from severe blows to the head in the living room, where the father was pronounced dead at the scene, while the mother was taken to a local hospital and died later.
According to a criminal complaint, Adrian Bailey used a baseball bat to commit the crime, and he was detained in the Clark County Detention Center, and was charged with two counts of murder using a deadly weapon.
Official records indicated that the father Roger Bailey was a well-known figure in the local community, having served for more than 32 years in the city of Las Vegas, and was a prominent member of the Grand Canyon Synod council between 2019 and 2025, during which he was described as "a committed leader who is calm and has high integrity."
Christine Bailey, meanwhile, was known for her activity in the church, particularly in the field of child care where she regularly participated in Sunday schools and children’s programs, and one of the neighbors, Virginia Zimmerman, said the crime had severely shocked her, adding: "I have known them for many years.. what happened made me want to cry. They had previously told us about having problems with their son."
The Las Vegas police urged anyone with additional information about the incident to contact the homicide department.
