   (CNN)An arrest has been made in the stabbing death of Las Vegas   
   Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German, police say.   
   And his newspaper said the suspect is a public official who has   
   been the subject of German's investigative reporting.   
      
   Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was arrested   
   Wednesday in connection with German's death, Clark County   
   Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the Review-Journal.   
      
   Telles has not been publicly identified by police as being   
   connected to German's death, but the Las Vegas Metro Police   
   Department said in a post on social media that the "suspect in   
   the homicide that occurred on September 2, 2022, has been taken   
   into custody."   
      
   Online Clark County Jail records show Telles is being held on a   
   murder count and has a court appearance scheduled for Thursday   
   afternoon. CNN has reached out to LVMPD for additional comment.   
      
   German was found dead outside of his Las Vegas home Saturday,   
   according to police. The Review-Journal said German was found   
   with "stab wounds." The Clark County Office of the Medical   
   Examiner confirmed to CNN that the cause of German's death was   
   multiple sharp force injuries, and the manner of his death was   
   homicide.   
      
   Las Vegas police confirmed Wednesday that officers served search   
   warrants in relation to German's death, but did not immediately   
   provide any additional information. A search warrant may be   
   issued when a judge finds probable cause that police will find   
   evidence of a crime.   
      
   German had been working on a story about Telles the week he was   
   killed, according to the Review-Journal. Telles was the subject   
   of articles that detailed his oversight of his office, and   
   German reported that Telles created a hostile work environment   
   and carried on an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.   
      
   Telles lost his reelection bid in June.   
   Uniformed officers and police vehicles were seen on Wednesday   
   morning outside of Telles' home, according to local media.   
   Investigators haven't said if the activity was connected to the   
   investigation into German's death.   
      
   Police would not provide CNN information on what activity   
   transpired at the address linked to Telles. CNN has reached out   
   to Telles and his office for comment.   
      
   Las Vegas police released photos Tuesday of a possible suspect   
   and vehicle -- what appears to be a maroon GMC SUV -- connected   
   to German's death.   
      
   "Review-Journal reporters observed Telles in the driveway of his   
   home, standing next to a vehicle matching that description," the   
   newspaper reported. "The GMC vehicle and a second vehicle were   
   towed from Telles' property at about 12:50 p.m. on Wednesday."   
      
   The Review-Journal released a statement over the weekend on   
   German's death.   
      
   "The Review-Journal family is devastated to lose Jeff," said   
   Executive Editor Glenn Cook, according to the paper. "He was the   
   gold standard of the news business. It's hard to imagine what   
   Las Vegas would be like today without his many years of shining   
   a bright light on dark places."
