A jury in Clark County District Court has convicted a man of breaking into a room at a Las Vegas Strip hotel-casino and robbing and killing two Vietnamese tour leaders in June 2018. The defendant, 37-year-old Julius Damiano Deangilo Trotter, faces potential sentencing of death or life in prison after being found guilty on charges of murder, burglary, and robbery with a weapon. The victims, Sang Boi Nghia, 38, and Khoung Ba Le Nguyen, 30, were discovered dead at the Circus Circus hotel after they failed to show up for a tour group trip.
Evidence presented during the trial revealed that Nghia owned a tour business with her husband in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Nguyen was an employee of the business. The tragic incident came to light on June 1, 2018, when hotel staff found the bodies of the victims in their room, which had a faulty door lock.
