Camera recorded Las Vegas woman's shooting death, sparking 2-year manhunt for boyfriend
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A neighbor's security camera captured a man killing his girlfriend and then driving off in a stolen car, eventually leading to his arrest in Mexico after a two-year search, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained. Oswaldo 'Nate' Perez-Sanchez, 27, is accused of killing his girlfriend, Tabatha Tozzi, 26, on April 22, 2023, outside a west valley home near Alta Drive and Cimarron Road. A relative of Perez-Sanchez lived in the home, police said. Tozzi died two days later from her injuries. Mexican authorities arrested Perez-Sanchez on Tuesday in Northern Mexico, the 8 News Now Investigators first reported Tuesday evening. Perez-Sanchez was in the United States on a visa 'that prohibited him from leaving the [U.S.],' Tozzi told a family member, according to police. Two sources with knowledge of the investigation described Perez-Sanchez as a 'dreamer,' an undocumented immigrant brought into the United States as a child. After the shooting, Perez-Sanchez carjacked Tozzi's friend and drove off, police said. A witness told police that right before the shooting, she heard a woman say, 'I want my keys back, get out of my car.' As part of their investigation, detectives located a neighbor's outdoor camera, which they said 'captured the entirety of the incident.' The 34-second video begins with Perez-Sanchez standing outside a car. A second later, the camera recorded the sound of a gunshot, according to police. Several seconds later, Perez-Sanchez attempts to remove Tozzi from the car, police said, describing her as 'non-responsive.' Perez-Sanchez then approaches another car and carjacks Tozzi's friend. Police interviewed witnesses, including the friend Perez-Sanchez carjacked. That person told police Perez-Sanchez had a tattoo of Tozzi on his shoulder and had the work performed before even meeting her. A second person close to Tozzi said Perez-Sanchez has 'held her at his house and would not let her leave.' The witness told police Tozzi was planning to break up with Perez-Sanchez, but that Perez-Sanchez told Tozzi,' There is no breaking up.' 'Tabatha told [the friend] that Nate does not let her breathe in the relationship,' police said. 'She described this as basically being around her all the time.' The night before the shooting, Tozzi told Perez-Sanchez 'information involving another close guy friend,' documents said. Tozzi later told another person that Perez-Sanchez 'pulled his gun' on her and 'it's bad.' The shooting happened several hours later, according to police. As part of their investigation, police interviewed a person with the same last name as Perez-Sanchez, who they said was inside the family member's home at the time of the shooting. That person told police he did not know Perez-Sanchez. Perez-Sanchez has no local or out-of-state criminal history. Investigators suspect he was in Mexico within days of Tozzi's death. A task force, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals, had searched for Perez-Sanchez in Mexico. A United States treaty with Mexico dictates how the extradition process works. According to federal documents, the treaty calls for criminals arrested in Mexico, should they be convicted in the U.S., not to face the death penalty or a life sentence. The process can take years and will likely be delayed, if it happens at all, because Perez-Sanchez faces accusations of a second murder in Mexico. Lacerda will hold a celebration of life for Tozzi at Craig Ranch Park on April 24 from 2-5 p.m. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, leaving an abuser is the most dangerous time for a victim of domestic violence.

When could Tabatha Tozzi's boyfriend return to Las Vegas to face charges in her murder?
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The arrest in Mexico of Oswaldo 'Nate' Perez-Sanchez, 32, the man accused of killing his girlfriend in Las Vegas in 2023, sets off a complicated extradition process that has no promises of his return to the United States. Perez-Sanchez is accused of shooting Tabatha Tozzi, 26, on April 22, 2023, outside a west valley home near Alta Drive and Cimarron Road. She died from her injuries two days later. Police in Mexico arrested Perez-Sanchez in Sonora, a state in Northern Mexico, on Tuesday as part of an investigation into another woman's murder earlier this month, officials said. Perez-Sanchez was going by the name 'Jorge 'N,' according to local police. The 8 News Now Investigators first reported news of Perez-Sanchez's arrest Tuesday evening. Perez-Sanchez is a Mexican citizen, which further complicates his extradition. A United States treaty with Mexico dictates how the extradition process works. According to federal documents, the treaty calls for criminals arrested in Mexico, should they be convicted in the U.S., not to face the death penalty or a life sentence. While Nevada has the death penalty, the state has not put a convicted murderer to death since 2006. Judges can sentence convicted murderers to lengthy prison sentences with the possibility of parole. Because Perez-Sanchez faces a murder-related charge in Mexico, his criminal proceedings involving Tozzi's death may fall to the back burner. A news release from FGJE Sonora, the police agency that arrested Perez-Sanchez, indicates he faces a charge of femicide — the killing of a woman. The specific charge carries harsher sentences of up to decades in prison. Mexico does not have the death penalty. Last summer, Mexican police arrested Erick Rangel-Ibarra for the 2020 murder of Lesly Palacio, 22. Over the years, Las Vegas Metro police and the FBI have worked with international partners, including Interpol, to locate Rangel-Ibarra. The extradition process also includes a defendant's right to have a Mexican judge review the U.S.-based case. Nearly a year since his arrest, Rangel-Ibarra remained in Mexico awaiting extradition to the U.S. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
