A Nevada man has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 2019 killing of an woman at a hotel and casino in Reno.
The District Attorney's Office said 23-year-old Tevin Raeshaun Johnson was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty in November to first-degree murder in the death of 37-year-old Amber Morris.
Morris’ body was found near the door of her hotel room at Circus Circus Reno on July 19, 2019.
An autopsy revealed she was strangled and stomped on, causing bleeding in her brain.
Prosecutors say he met her in the casino then killed her when he knew she was alone in her room.
Police say the two did not know each other before meeting that night and his motive is still unknown.
