Police: Missing 2-year-old boy is dead; mother’s boyfriend arrested​

A 2-year-old boy reported missing this month is dead, and his mother’s boyfriend was booked today on a count of murder, Metro Police Lt. Richard Meyers said this evening.

It wasn’t clear how Amari Nicholson was slain or if his body has been recovered.

Terrell Rhodes — who fought with officers while being taken into custody, briefly getting hold of an officer’s gun — is being held at the Clark County Detention Center on a count of murder.

Meyers, who left abruptly without taking questions, citing an active investigation, did not share additional details.

Amari’s disappearance from an extended-stay hotel, located at 3684 Paradise Road just east of the Las Vegas Strip, garnered widespread community attention, including media interviews with Rhodes, 27, who told reporters that the boy was picked up by someone claiming to be a family member.

Metro dispatched “all available resources,” including its homicide unit, Meyers said.

Booking and court appearance information for Rhodes wasn't available through online logs this evening.

Sheriff Lombardo: Amari Nicholson murder case ‘challenging’ for police

Sheriff Lombardo: Amari Nicholson murder case ‘challenging’ for police

Sheriff Lombardo: Amari Nicholson murder case ‘challenging’ for police​

Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo discussed the tragic case of 2-year-old Amari Nicholson on Good Day Las Vegas Wednesday morning, one day after police learned the child had been killed.

“First and foremost I want to send my condolences to the family,” Lombardo said.

He added this case has been emotionally challenging for officers especially because there was a lack of information.

“Unfortunately, we were informed late in the process with the missing child,” Lombardo said.

Terrell Rhodes, the boyfriend of the mother, who was supposed to be caring for the child, had said that a family member took the boy on May 5.

Rhodes was arrested Tuesday, May 11, after allegedly confessing to killing Amari.

Lombardo said the challenge now is finding Amari’s body.

“It’s going to be a no body prosecution, at this point,” he said.

Lombardo said Rhodes gave police some information as to where the body might be but it proved to be false.

Lombardo is asking the public to help if they have any information in the case.

The grandmother believes Rhodes is guilty of murdering her only grandson. She says, "He’s violent and he’s on drugs, and you know so he did it because the baby peed his pants." Howard adds, "He admitted that he did it, because he peed his pants, and I’m told there’s a video of him actually doing it that the police found on deleted files on his phone."

He RECORDED himself killing Amari?
Can't even argue "heat of the moment" if that's true. Took the time to set up his damn camera / start recording. Who the hell was the recording for? Himself? Amari's mom? "Look what I had to do to your son when you were gone.....oops sorry."

Amari’s mom told boyfriend ‘relationship was over’ before child’s death

Arrest report for Terrell Rhodes, 27, says the couple argued by text and phone call in the days before the 2-year-old was reported missing to Las Vegas police.

Amari’s mom told boyfriend ‘relationship was over’ before child’s death​

The mother of slain Las Vegas toddler Amari Nicholson told her boyfriend, Terrell Rhodes, that she was breaking up with him days before the child was reported missing, a newly released arrest report shows.

“During the trip, Tayler and Terrell argued over telephone calls and through text messages,” police wrote in Rhodes’ arrest report. “During a particular text argument on 5-3-21 at approximately (3:35 a.m.), Tayler indicated the relationship was over and she told Terrell someone would be stopping by the apartment later (in the day) apparently to collect her belongings.”

But two days later, police said, Rhodes told Nicholson that an unidentified female came to the apartment and picked up the child. Tayler Nicholson called 911 and reported her son kidnapped, police said.


“Amari urinated in his clothing several times,” police said Rhodes told them. “Terrell was upset and struck Amari approximately three to four times in the body with a closed fist. At some point, Amari turned blue and purple in the face and stopped breathing.

“Terrell laid Amari on the floor and attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation but was unable to revive Amari,” police said.

He then disposed of Amari’s body at a nearby apartment complex, the report said.

He took out the anger he had for not being in control of the situation on a precious little boy. This is inexcusable!

This mother has to take some of the blame too however because she left her son in this persons care and didn't think about his safety afterwards.

If grandma's account is true and Amari was supposed to go with his mom, then I completely agree with you.

I would like to know her reasoning for not taking him with her, especially if she told him that before she left.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

You tell your boyfriend that you're leaving him and will send someone to get your belongings. But you DON'T take your CHILD?!? And do "your belongings" include your child? Ugh.

that's why I think she knows more than what is being reported. The look on her face says the same.

 

[Guess Who]

i would like to know when this child was last seen alive other than by the parents.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I would like to know her reasoning for not taking him with her, especially if she told him that before she left.

The first part of this link is the press conference and then the short hearing of the perp. At about 6:30 into it is an interview with Amari's mother after ir it was found her boyfriend did this. I don't think this interview has been posted, if it has, my apologies.

She does not answer the question of why she did not take her son with her to her mother's. It's a tough one to call but I find her to seem most likely truthful here. I don't think she likely had anything to do with it of course she was out of town. I think she was guilty of trusting the wrong person without a doubt and I think it was a bad move to get into an argument while he had her son even if she was in the right or no matter who was or who started the argument.

I have a few thoughts of why she left her son with him but I am not going to state them as it is total speculation without basis but from that point on, my guess is he was upset over watching him, the child not being potty trained, his being stuck without freedom with a child not his while she was "off somewhere" and likely arguing with her about it. He probably went on about he should not have to watch him and she probably said she would find someone to pick him up then, get her things or all of the above as the case may be.

Her choices were far from good but he is the one who did this. At best she may have covered for him initially but I am even unsure of that, there really is no evidence that she did. I think she hoped it was not the case.

This was not an apartment in the sense of the word, it was a week to week motel type rental without credit checks done if one reads the info on the suites website.
