LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Two Las Vegas sisters and a man are accused of luring another man for sex with the intent to rob him, during which he was shot in the head, according to a declaration of arrest.
Nathan Nava, 22, Skylar Bailey, 23, and Emiley Ridout, 20, all face charges of open murder, battery to commit robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery, records showed.
On July 19 around 7:55 p.m., police responded to several reports of gunshots and a person possibly shot at an apartment complex 4700 block of Arid Avenue near Nellis Boulevard and Cheyenne Avenue.
When officers arrived they found a man later identified as 19-year-old Conner Rebolledo lying in the parking lot unresponsive with blood coming from his head area while holding a gun with his finger on the trigger, police said.
Rebolledo was pronounced dead at the scene. The Clark County Coroner’s office determined his cause of death to be a gunshot wound to the head.
A resident in the apartment complex told police that she was in her apartment in front of an open window when she saw Rebolledo walking with a woman when suddenly three men ran up and “jumped” Rebolledo, police said.
All three of the men beat Rebolledo and one of the men had a firearm and used it to pistol whip him several times. The witness said the woman stood nearby and did not do anything to defuse the situation and ran away once the gunshots started, according to the report.
During the fight, the man who pistol-whipped Rebolledo shot him two to three times. After the gunshots, the three men ran in different directions with one of the men running to the woman, police said.
Minutes after police dispatch broadcasted the description of the suspects, an LVMPD detective in plain clothes and an unmarked police vehicle entered the apartment complex when she noticed that behind her was a vehicle following the same path through the complex.
As the detective continued to drive she noticed a woman and two men, who matched some of the physical and clothing descriptions of the suspects, walk into the parking lot and wave her down, appearing to be in a hurry, police said.
The detective realized that the group thought she was their rideshare so she continued driving and saw them enter the vehicle behind her. Police followed and stopped the vehicle, detaining the occupants, Nava, Bailey, and a family member of Nava, according to police.
Nava told police that he and his baby’s mother, Bailey, were hanging out at a friend’s place who lived in the complex with some other people when Robelledo showed up. Nava claimed that two of the men at the apartment said Robelledo owed them money and wanted to rob him, however, Nava did not want to be a part of the plan, the report said.
Nava claimed the two men jumped Rebolledo and that he never actually saw a gun. Nava then asked his family member to send him and Bailey a rideshare to pick them up.
Bailey told police that she was walking with Rebolledo when the men ran up and jumped him. She alleged that she met Rebolledo about a month prior at a party, according to police.
When detectives spoke to Rebolledo’s mother and girlfriend, they said that on the night of his murder, Rebolledo got a message around 8:30 p.m. and told them that he was meeting a friend and would be back in about 30 minutes. That was the last time they saw Rebolledo alive, police said.
Police then spoke to Rebolledo’s co-worker who told them that Rebolledo was messaging a girl on Instagram by the name of “Emiley” and was waiting to meet and hook up with her. The two were originally supposed to meet on July 16 but “Emiley” canceled, They were then supposed to meet on July 18, the day before Rebolledo’s murder, however, “Emiley” said she got a flat tire, according to the report.
Rebolledo then sent screenshots of his messages with Emiley who was making plans with him and assuring him that they would “for sure meet tomorrow” which was the date of his murder, police said.
Text messages
Police searched Rebolledo, Nava, and Bailey’s phones where they found messages between Bailey and Ridout, who police later identified as the “Emiley” Rebolledo was messaging on Instagram. Police also discovered that Ridout and Bailey were sisters.
When detectives looked through messages between Bailey and Ridout, it was apparent that Nava and Bailey were experiencing “severe financial difficulties,” and had been evicted from their home with their children, police said.
On July 2, Bailey and Ridout texted each other about Rebolledo’s Instagram with Ridout saying, “Okay already done. Like I unfollowed you and removed you,” and Bailey responded, “He got me blocked” and sent a screenshot of his Instagram, police said.
The same day Ridout sent a screenshot of her conversation with Rebolledo saying, “Only for yall,” to which Bailey replied, “We win you win,” according to the report.
In another conversation, Ridout asks Bailey “How you know he even gonna have the money on him” and Bailey responds, “He always brings w [Sic] him he likes to look flashy and show off,” police said.
From July 2 to July 16, there was constant communication between Rebolledo and Ridout, and Bailey. There were even instances where Bailey typed out messages for Ridout to copy and send to Robelledo, according to police.
On July 19, Bailey instructed Ridout to no longer reply to Rebolledo because she was going to take over and text him directly from a different number, the report said.
Police also went through the messages between Bailey and Nava which appeared to show that Nava had a history of robbing people, dating back to 2023, with him saying, “I promise this month over I’m going hard baby no more robbing,” the report showed.
In a text thread on July 16, the first day that Rebolledo and Ridout were supposed to meet, Nava texted Bailey, “Is he talking to you,” to which she responded “He’s checking his messages” and ” I love you too my stomach in knots.”
On July 18, Nava and Bailey were texting each other asking who they could borrow a gun from. On July 19, around 7:24 p.m., Bailey texted Nava the address where Rebolledo was later killed, police said.
Police also found texts between Nava and a contact named “Spazz Out” from July 19 where Nava tells him “Bros can you grab me cuh ready,” and “He trynna link and everything bro.”
The messages go on to say, “He just came back from the casino,” and “He got bread tho bro he jus came back from the casino.” Police said they are investigating the identity of “Spazz Out” as it appears they are also one of the people who conspired with Nava to rob Rebolledo.
Police later learned that Rebolledo worked at a business that refilled ATMs, meaning he would work with large sums of cash. While reviewing Rebolledo’s Instagram page, police noticed that he would regularly post photos with large sums of cash, which was consistent with Bailey’s description of him as flashy and a show-off. However, when detectives spoke to Rebolledo’s manager, he said the manner the money in the post was packed was the same as how the money is packaged before being put into ATMs, police said.
The manager said he previously told Rebolledo not to post those pictures because he could become a target for a robbery, according to police.
Nava, Ridout, and Bailey are all scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 17 for a preliminary hearing, records showed.
