A BOYFRIEND has allegedly admitted to killing his girlfriend and her two children while he was “blacked out” after she confessed to cheating on him.
Juan Orona, 29, allegedly turned himself in to Las Vegas cops before claiming he had shot dead Nohani Flores-Osuna and her two young kids, reports say.
He had suffered a gunshot wound to his abdomen when he allegedly admitted to the killings shortly after 7pm on Tuesday.
Nohani’s two children, Maiya, 16, and Noah, who is believed to be about five years old, were killed in the “blackout rage”.
Orona said he confronted Nohani at an apartment complex in west Las Vegas after he saw her car near her ex-boyfriend’s vehicle, arrest documents say.
Nohani allegedly admitted she had cheated on him and told her boyfriend that her former partner, identified only as “Henry”, was “better in bed”, the suspect told cops.
Orona said at this point he “blacked out” and when he finally came to he realised he was holding his pistol in the bathroom, with his girlfriend and two kids dead in front of him, reports say.
Police arrived at the scene in the 5100 block of O’Bannon Drive, by the intersection of Sahara Avenue and Decatur Boulevard.
They forced themselves inside and found the three victims dead.
Orona told police he remembered Nohani and her children shouting or running at him during the blackout – but he didn’t provide further details, the report says.

Local cops said Orona did not deny shooting the three victims – but claimed he could not remember who he shot first or why.
The suspect allegedly told cops the shooting took place inside the apartment where the family had been staying.
He also said his gun was inside a backpack in his vehicle, according to the report.
Orona was taken to Sunrise Hospital for his gunshot wound.
It is unclear if this was self-inflicted or not.
He had been dating Nohani for three to six months at the time of the alleged killing.
The suspect said he helped pay rent for the apartment where they were living, reports say.
Orona reportedly told cops he knew he needed to hand himself in and be held accountable.
His own dad told police Orona called him at about 7pm on Tuesday saying he had hurt his girlfriend and her children.
On Thursday, Orona appeared in court where his lawyer asked a judge to delay the bail decision.
He faces three counts of open murder with a deadly weapon and 10 counts of firing a gun into an occupied structure.
He is next due in court on September 9 and is currently being held in the Clark County Detention Center.
