LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Three people are facing charges after being accused of an attack on a local nail salon owner that was captured on video.

Las Vegas Metropolitan police identified Tatyana Wilson, 22, Larry Wilson Jr., 21, and Larry Darnell Wilson, 52, as suspects in the attack against the owner of The Nail Palace on Flamingo Road and University Center Drive on Sunday, Feb. 26. The victim said there was a fourth suspect but court records only show three arrests, at this time.

The victim, Nathan Nguyen, told 8 News Now the attack happened after a woman entered the salon saying she wanted a pedicure but Nguyen said it became clear she just wanted to use the bathroom so he asked her to leave. As the woman left, Nguyen said she broke a plant.

“There was blood all over the clothes. It looked like a horror movie,” said Nick Hardman, the victim’s spouse, and a co-owner of the salon. Nguyen’s phone was also stolen. The salon was closed for several days while he recovered.

While all three suspects share the same last name, it is unknown if they are related. Court documents show the three suspects face the same charges:

  • Burglary of business

  • Battery with intent to commit mayhem, robbery, or grand larceny

  • Battery resulting in substantial bodily injury

  • Robbery

The suspects are due in court for their initial appearances on Tuesday, March 5.
