Police said Darius Stokes, 24, was stabbed in the back of the head outside the eatery. Stokes died the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Reed is unlikely to receive bail since he&#8217;s already on parole in connection with a prior murder case in California, the <em>Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> reported. Details on this earlier murder case were not immediately available.<\/p>\n<h2>Incident Details<\/h2>\n<p>That night began routinely enough. Stokes reportedly went to the restaurant with coworkers for a 3:30 am meal. When members of the group noticed Stokes wasn&#8217;t with them inside the IHOP, one concerned worker went outside and found him lying in the parking lot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>Surveillance video from the restaurant showed Reed making a swinging motion toward the back of Stokes\u2019 head. In his hand was some kind of sharp object, according to police.\u00a0The video also shows Reed leaving the parking lot in his sister\u2019s car shortly after the incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Reed admitted to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers that he punched Stokes to protect his sister. He told the police that Strokes was verbally abusing his sister. He denied involvement in any stabbing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I am not a stabber, I shoot,\u201d <\/strong>Reed was quoted in a police report, <em>KLAS<\/em>, a local TV station, reported.<\/p>\n<p>Stokes had been \u201ctalking trash\u201d to his sister, and he \u201chad to defend her,\u201d Reed revealed to officers.<\/p>\n<p>Stokes was rushed to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-beating-victim-remains-hospitalized-after-may-assault-near-strip\/\"> Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center<\/a> for treatment, where doctors initially thought he suffered a brain aneurysm. After repeated exams, doctors eventually found a wound in Stokes\u2019 head. It was about the size of a tip of a pen, the <em>Review-Journal<\/em> said.<\/p>\n<h2>Stokes Background<\/h2>\n<p>This summer, Stokes began working at Lo-Lo\u2019s Chicken &amp; Waffles, a soul food restaurant chain located in Las Vegas, <em>KLAS<\/em> said, based on information from his family.<\/p>\n<p>Stokes was living in Kentucky before recently moving to Nevada, where he has relatives.<\/p>\n<p>The IHOP where the murder occurred is located seven-tenths of a mile from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/strat-hotel-jumper-likely-committed-suicide-nevada-coroner-reveals\/\">The Strat Hotel, Casino &amp; Skypod<\/a>.
