The murder of investigative journalist Jeff German, who was brutally stabbed outside his home in Las Vegas on September 3, 2022, shocked the nation and highlighted the perils journalists face when uncovering corruption and misconduct. The case quickly zeroed in on Robert Telles, a public official from Clark County, Nevada, whose career had been impacted by German's investigative reporting. In August 2024, Telles was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.
