The blonde-haired suspect is seen pouring a substance into the victimโ€™s drink at the slot machines and handing it to the tourist. He said he immediately had difficulty moving.

One of the 2 women helped him to get a ride to his hotel, walking him to the waiting car. Police suspect the supposed rideshare driver of a dark-colored Honda Fit may be another suspect in the crime.
