According to police, Campos said they started arguing over her missing phone. She said Vazquez was becoming more upset, so she grabbed a large butcher knife.

Vazquez started walking toward Campos as she was backing away, when she fell down on the stairs, police said.

At this point, Campos stabbed Vazquez once in the leg, according to authorities.

Campos was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on one count of murder, police said.
