Las Vegas Minors Charged in Fathers' Murders

Two separate incidents in Las Vegas over the weekend resulted in minors being charged with the murder of their fathers. In the first case, a 15-year-old boy allegedly shot his father, Jeremy Peterson, during a family altercation in west Las Vegas, leading to his arrest on charges of murder and assault with a deadly weapon. In the second case, a 12-year-old girl in North Las Vegas reportedly stabbed her father, James Waldie, after a disagreement about discipline, following a history of domestic disturbances at the home. Both minors appeared in juvenile court and will remain detained pending further evaluation and court proceedings. Previous police calls to both residences indicate ongoing family tensions and domestic issues. Investigations into both homicides are ongoing, and authorities are seeking further information from the public.
