    LAS VEGAS (KSNV) - Las Vegas Metro Police are investigating the death of
    local Journalist, Matthew Kelemen, whose body was found inside a bin
    that was dropped off at a downtown Las Vegas business, near Fremont
    Street.

    Preliminary details of the investigation conducted by LVMPD reveal that
    on May 20, officers responded to reports of a foul odor coming from a
    large bin inside The Beef Jerky Store.

    Further details of that investigation reveal the business partners with 'Bounce', which is a storage company that works with local businesses
    around the world, to allow for secure spaces for travelers to store
    their luggage.

    Upon further investigation, details of the report show officers had to
    use bolt cutters to open the locked bin; that's where LVMPD officers
    found contents stained with blood as well as Klemen's body wrapped in a
    tarp.

    Once LVMPD's homicide unit took over, investigators were able to link
    and identify 63-year-old Joseph Del Rivo as the prime suspect behind the homicide.

    However, on May 21, Utah's Highway Patrol revealed Del Rivo had been
    involved in a high-speed police chase in Richfield, Utah, where police
    say he drove speeds in excess of 140mph.

    Investigators say as a result, Del Rivo was ejected from his vehicle,
    where he was later pronounced dead.

    Further details show that Klemen's body had been left inside the bin for
    at least four days.

    New 3 reached out to The Beef Jerky store for comment, but the store
    owner declined.
