Friday night’s attempted robbery of the Bellagio poker room ended with a shootout between police and the alleged thief as he attempted to steal a getaway car. After being hit in the exchange, the robber was sent to the hospital in critical condition.

On Saturday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that the suspect has died as a result of his injuries. In a bizarre twist, however, investigators are now trying to determine if the deceased robber is the very same man who got away with stealing an undisclosed amount of cash from the Bellagio back in November of 2017.

The two heists had remarkably similar strategies, with both involving an armed man targeting the Bellagio poker room cage and the casino’s north valet entrance. Detectives now have to determine if the most recent attempt was a copy cat or the original bandit looking for a repeat score.

The second robbery may have gone smoother for the criminal had there not already been a heavy police presence at Bellagio at the time. Undersheriff Kevin McMahill told ABC News that officers were already on site trying to locate a missing child when they saw the theft taking place on surveillance video.

The suspect’s identity is being withheld by the Clark County coroner until relatives have been notified.

TAYLOR (WWJ) – A tournament was taking place at a popular poker room Downriver when two masked gunmen stormed inside and demanded all the money.

The incident happened just after 12 a.m. Friday at Momo’s Poker Room on Telegraph Road just south of Van Born Road in Taylor.

A charity poker tournament was taking place at the time, and reports describe the business as being “packed full” of patrons.

Police say the masked suspects entered the room with guns drawn and ordered everyone inside to lay face-down on the floor.

“They announced that they were robbing the location. They did have patrons get on the floor as they were robbing the location, and they were demanding money from the location and the patrons,” Police Chief Mary Sclabassi told WWJ’s Charlie Langton.

The robbers made off with upwards of $1,000, according to police.

No shots were fired and no one was injured.

“Obviously, many of the people were traumatized,” said Sclabassi. “This was a traumatizing event this morning.”
