Long-time World Series of Poker dealer Joseph Levine, known as “Elvis Joe,” was killed Wednesday after a homeless woman shot him with a shotgun at his Las Vegas home, police said.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the 56-year-old Levine died from a gunshot wound to the chest at University Medical Center.
The woman is 30-year-old Marjorie Fiora (pictured right).
From the Review-Journal:
[Before the crime], Levine was inside the residence while Fiora swam with two of Levine’s brothers. The three got out of the pool when Fiora, who was nude, went inside. The brothers told police they heard a gun shot a few minutes later, the police report said. As Fiora ran away, she said, “I have to kill him,” to the brothers. One of the brothers wrestled the gun away from her as she ran, police said. She went to a nearby house, broke a window and stole a dress. Fiora told two people at the house that she was fleeing from her boyfriend, who was trying to kill her, police said. Officers found Fiora in another home’s backyard a short time later and arrested her. The police report said that Fiora and Levine knew each other and that she would sometimes stay with him.
Levine, who spent more than 25 summers working at the WSOP, was well-liked at the Rio Convention Center. Check out a video interview with him from 2009.
