The Assassination of Jeff German: Investigative Reporter's Legacy Lives on in Pursuit of Justice

In September 2022, Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German was fatally stabbed outside his home. Known for exposing notorious figures, German's murder raised questions of potential motives from individuals he reported on. Among them was Clark County public administrator Robert Telles, whom German had written about. Telles was accused of fostering a toxic work environment, which German had been investigating. Despite the tragedy, German's colleagues continued his work, keeping his sources safe, and ensuring his legacy in journalism is honored. The trial for Telles is set for March 18, 2024.
