A man charged with murder and sexual assault in the death of a woman nine days after she was found in a hotel room remained in custody without bail after a court hearing Tuesday.

On June 12, police responded to Spring Valley Hospital after a woman was found unresponsive in a hotel room in the 4300 block of Flamingo Road and transported there. Police did not identify the hotel by name, but the Palms is at 4321 W. Flamingo Road. She was the victim of a possible assault, the Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release, and died on June 21.

Police said Jason Kendall, 35, turned himself in to police headquarters on Friday. He is charged with murder, sexual assault and battery by strangulation with intent to commit sexual assault.

On Monday, the Clark County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Larissa Garcia, 30, of Las Vegas. The cause and manner of her death are pending determination, the coroner’s office said.

In court, Kendall appeared stoic, sitting in a chair and staring straight ahead before his case was called.

Special Public Defender Michael Castillo did not request that bail be set immediately, but said he reserved the right to request it in writing. Castillo declined to comment after the hearing.

Kendall’s next court appearance is scheduled for August 6.
