Barrios, 34, is accused of killing Maris DiGiovanni, 30, and Brent Hallett, 47. He is also accused of injuring six other people in the rampage that happened near the Wynn Hotel on Las Vegas Boulevard. Distressing surveillance footage obtained by the CBS affiliate KLAS showed Barrios targeting his victims indiscriminately.

Showgirls, who were wearing feathers, fled the scene in fear. Barrios plunged the knife into the heart of one of the showgirls. He was then seen chasing down the street. Another showgirl was seen falling before Barrios appeared to target more unsuspecting victims.

He was seen approaching a man wearing a black vest before attacking him. Hallett died after he was stabbed in the back. Cheryl Lowthorp, who runs DiGiovanni’s employer, The Best Showgirls in Vegas, recalled the horror. “It happened so fast; he stabbed Maris in the heart,” she told The New York Post in October 2022.

DiGiovanni died in the arms of another showgirl, known only as Anna. Cops swooped on Barrios, and he was arrested. They ended up tackling him to the ground at the Venetian Expo convention center. A showgirl reportedly told cops that Barrios asked to pose with the group with his knife.
