Longtime Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German was found dead outside his home with multiple stab wounds, the newspaper revealed Sunday. The German, 69, was found dead on Saturday morning and police are still investigating his death. He worked as a journalist in Las Vegas for more than 30 years, joining the Review-Journal in 2010 after two decades at the Las Vegas Sun. “The Review-Journal family is devastated to lose Jeff,” executive editor Glenn Cook said in a statement. “He was the gold standard of the news industry. It’s hard to imagine what Las Vegas would be like today without his many years shining a bright light in dark places.” Police say they believe German got into an argument with another person outside his home Friday night.
