LAS VEGAS (AP) - Police say a spat over sleeping arraignments at an apartment just outside of Las Vegas ended in murder.

Yuri Marcus, 26, was book into Clark County Detention Center after he allegedly beat 28-year-old Paul Martinez to death in October.

Henderson police say the men were staying in the apartment of a couple getting married in Florida when Marcus became upset with Martinez for sleeping in the master bedroom.

Police say the disagreement sparked a fight, with Martinez pulling a knife and Marcus attacking him.

Marcus was first arrested in October, but was later released.
