The stabbing happened on Oct. 3 in the area of Decatur Boulevard and Ann Road. At that time, officers found two women with visible stab wounds.
According to the police investigation, detectives determined the two women were walking north on Decatur Boulevard when the suspect attacked them without provocation. Police said the suspect stabbed both women at least once with a knife. The suspect then fled the scene before police arrived. The two women were taken to hospital and have since been released.
Nearly three weeks later, on Oct. 22, a multi-agency task force known as the Criminal Apprehension Team (CAT) located Harper in the 3300 block of North Decatur Boulevard and attempted to make contact with her, but Harper refused to come out of his apartment and barricaded himself inside.
North Las Vegas Police then responded to the scene. Harper was then taken into custody by the North Las Vegas Police SWAT team.
Harper was taken to the North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center. Anyone with information about this crime is urged to contact the North Las Vegas Police Department at 702-633-9111. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers of Nevada by phone at 702-385-5555.
