Baseball Bat-Wielding Son Begged Police to Kill Him After Parents’ Deaths

LAS VEGAS, NV - A Nevada man in his late 20s has been arrested and charged after being accused of killing his parents with a baseball bat, telling 911 he "couldn't take it anymore."

On Saturday, December 27, at around 11:30 p.m., the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) received a call from 27-year-old Adrian Bailey, who said he needed to be "taken in for murder," according to an arrest report reviewed by 8newsnow

Bailey reportedly told dispatchers that he "couldn't take it anymore," and he "killed them," adding that "there was blood everywhere and that he did not mean to," the report said. As officers were responding to the initial call location, a residence in the 6400 block of New Brunswick Avenue near East Washington Avenue, Bailey called 911 again, this time from the area of East Stewart Avenue and North Fogg Street.

In that call, Bailey said, "officers need to kill him on sight" because he was a danger to himself and others, adding, "I have done it," the report said. When a dispatcher asked if Bailey had shot himself, he said "he hadn't killed himself yet, but had 'done some others.'"

Bailey said that he had left his home without his glasses and had been drinking alcohol, but had not used any drugs. The report stated that Bailey was "hysterical" and yelling, asking for police to "kill him on sight." He told dispatch he killed his dad, saying "he did not mean to, but he had enough abuse."

Around 11:45 p.m., police arrived at the second location and took Bailey into custody without further incident. He reportedly had blood on his skin and clothes. During an interview with police, Bailey requested an attorney, and the interview was terminated.

Officers at the initial location found two people in the home's living room with "life-threatening injuries," according to the report. The man, identified as Roger Bailey, was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman, Kristine Bailey, was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later died. The victims have been identified as Adrian Bailey's parents.

Police found a child-sized baseball bat covered in blood at the top of the stairs. Blood spatter at the scene showed that one of the victims was hit with the bat while on the stairs, and both victims were hit in the living room. A neighbor of the Baileys who knew the family told KLAS in an interview that Roger and Kristine had been experiencing "issues" with their son. 

Bailey was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on two counts of open murder with a deadly weapon. He appeared in court this past Monday, December 29, where a judge declined to set bail.
