Henderson, Nev. – (September 23, 2023) On September 22, 2023, at approximately 4:30 P.M., the City of Henderson Police Department responded to the 1000 block of Center Street in reference to a domestic dispute involving an adult daughter and her mother.
The person reporting advised that a female was outside, holding a knife, threatening another female and shouting, “I will kill you!” That same female was then observed stabbing stairs with the knife yelling “kill me!”
This female was identified as 33-year-old Shena Reiber.
Upon officers' arrival, Reiber was observed to be holding a large knife. She began approaching officers with the knife in her hand.
