Sucker punch in Las Vegas left La Puente man dead, brother says – Press-Enterprise

REDLANDS Drake Garibay is still reeling from what he says was a senseless attack that left his brother dead.

The last moments of Luis Campos life were in a line waiting to get into a Las Vegas bar about 1:30 a.m. April 30 during a bachelors party weekend.

Garibay, of Redlands, says two suspects that morning randomly sucker punched his brother; Campos died from his injuries in a Las Vegas hospital on Thursday.

Campos, 45, of La Puente, was approached by two men, and one of them said something aggressive, like Whats up or What you looking at,' Garibay, 30, said in an emotional interview Saturday night.

Before his older brother could react, the taller of the two men punched Campos, knocking him out. Then the two men, both in their 20s, fled.

Garibay said he cradled his older brothers head in his arms and gently said, I am here. Hang in there.

Las Vegas police officers came to the aid of the fallen brother, calling for the paramedics to get to the Fremont Street crime scene.

Although Garibay said he doesnt know what the reason was for the unprovoked attack on his brother, he speculated it might have been part of a cult contest known as the knockout game, in which a person attempts to knock out an unsuspecting stranger.

Detectives with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department are seeking the publics assistance in locating the two suspects.

One suspect was seen wearing a white cap, dark shirt and tan pants.

The suspects both ran east on Fremont Street and then turned north on Sixth Street, according to Las Vegas police reports.

Luis Campos is survived by his wife, Julie Campos, and their two small children.

He has three teenage children by another marriage, Garibay said.
