LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas judge ordered a man released on electronic monitoring Tuesday after he was arrested in connection with a fight involving juveniles outside a middle school last week.
Jose Montes, 39, turned himself in to school police on Monday, defense attorney James Gallo said during his initial court appearance Tuesday morning. In 2021, Montes was briefly misidentified as a suspect in a child homicide, but the accusations were dropped after Montes’ son was found alive.
A Las Vegas woman had called police claiming that a child’s body found off of state Route 160 was her son, whose father was Montes. The homicide victim was later identified as 7-year-old Liam Husted, from California.
