Erika Covington And Arionna Taylor Jailed 10 Years For Murdering Bryan Altamirano-Solano In His Hotel Room

Erika Covington and Arionna Taylor have been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murder of Bryan Altamirano-Solano. The crime took place in a hotel room where Altamirano-Solano was robbed and murdered.

The investigation into this case revealed that Covington and Taylor were the two women who orchestrated Altamirano-Solano’s murder. You can commit a crime and try to hide it but the law stands tall.

In November, Erika Covington, 21; and Arionna Taylor, 22, agreed to plead guilty to charges of second-degree murder for the May 2023 shooting death of Bryan Altamirano-Solano, 25, records said. Altamirano-Solano was in the country seeking asylum from Nicaragua.

Police initially said the women killed Altamirano-Solano inside the room at Caesars Palace and then stole his wallet. Police nor prosecutors have ever said which woman they believe pulled the trigger, however, a cartridge casing inside the room matched Taylor’s weapon, they said.

In court Thursday, Clark County District Court Judge Tierra Jones sentenced the women along the terms of the agreement, which includes a maximum term of 25 years.

“I would like to send my condolences to Brian’s family,” Covington said. “I deeply, genuinely apologize for the grief and the pain that’s been brought to you guys’ family.”

According to the court documents, a surveillance camera recorded Altamirano-Solano at around 2:14 a.m. talking with two women in a valet area. Another camera captured the trio walking to Altamirano-Solano’s room around 2:35 a.m. The video shows a bag slung over Altamirano-Solano’s chest.

Less than 15 minutes later, another camera captured Covington and Taylor running through a hallway, prosecutors said. One of the women was carrying Altamirano-Solano’s bag, they said.

Detectives later located two explicit videos on Altamirano-Solano’s phone, which they said included Covington and Taylor.

“It wasn’t enough just taking his belongings, they had to kill him,” Altamirano-Solano’s father, Victor Altamirano, said during the sentencing. “I ask for justice for my son.”

Altamirano-Solano’s mother and brother joined the hearing remotely.

“The pain that I felt was so deep,” Nelly Altamirano said. “I felt like I just lost my life. I had so many questions. Why? Why my son?”

The sentencing of Covington and Taylor provides a sense of closure for the family and sends a strong message that acts of violence and crime will not be tolerated in our society. The justice system has worked diligently to ensure a fair trial and a just outcome for everyone involved in this tragic event.
