On August 4, 2013 Adam Hilty (age 51) was killed in an apparant altercation with Israel Benitez-Barrera (age 31) in Las Vegas near Palm Street and Center Drive. Benitez-Barrera was arrested and charged with manslaughter by the Clark County District Attorney's Office. Reports say the two were involved in a fight which led to Benitez-Barrera striking Hilty multiple times in the back and sides while Hilty was on his hands and knees. After Hilty announced he wanted to fight no longer, the fight ended and the suspect reportedly went to sleep. He was awakened by law enforcement but claimed no recollection of the event. The Clark County Coroners Office has listed as a cause of death as a lacerated spleen. The suspect's bail was set at $30,000, and he is held at the Clark County Detention Center awaiting a court date that is set for August 27, 2013. Reports say the two were friends of approximately four years. There has been no confirmation of a Las Vegas bail bond being posted to secure Benitez-Barrera's release.
