A Las Vegas man is facing attempted murder charges after his wife accused him of trying to set her and their house on fire.

According to police, 40-year-old Christian Ellis and his wife, Melissa, got into a fight Monday evening at their home near Cimarron Road and Grand Teton Drive. It was actually their son who first called police about the incident.

During the fight, Ellis grabbed a can of gasoline and a blowtorch from the garage, police said. He then dosed the house and his wife with gasoline, threatening to burn them both.

At one point, he actually activated a lighter and attempted to light his wife on fire, according to police.

Melissa Ellis was able to grab the couple's son and leave the house. She contacted a neighbor, who called police.

When officers arrived, Ellis barricaded himself in the house for a short time, but he was eventually taken into custody.

A justice court judge set bail for the man accused of shooting two women during a soccer game last month.

Bail for 19-year-old Ezra Peoples is set at $250,000. According to Metro Police, Peoples fired shots out of his bedroom window and hit the women, who were watching the game at Teton Trails Park January 19.

One woman was hit in the leg and the other's chest was grazed by a bullet.

Peoples was already in custody when he was charged in connection with the shooting.

He is one of three men charged in connection with a home invasion robbery, kidnapping and car theft.

According to police, the suspect and two other men forced their way into a home near Iron Mountain Road and Jones Boulevard just before 2 a.m. January 30, when one of the two residents was returning home.
