Las Vegas police have accused a man with ties to boxer Floyd Mayweather’s Las Vegas gym of killing a volunteer at the gym before dumping the body near the Nevada-California border.

The Metropolitan Police Department has named 54-year-old Abdul Musawwir Mohammed, also known as Carlton Burnett, as a suspect in the shooting death. An arrest report says the volunteer was shot early Aug. 25 in or near Mohammed’s Las Vegas apartment and his body was later concealed under a bush and rocks in the California desert.

“(The) body was then driven into California and hidden in the desert to hinder and delay any potential murder investigation occuring in Las Vegas,” the report said. Prosecutors charged Burnett with murder with a deadly weapon. Jail and court records refer to Mohammed as Burnett, but police said he goes by Mohammed.

San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department deputies received a call of a man’s body about 4:45 p.m. Aug. 27, the arrest report said. The report said the body was found just over the California border on Nipton Road, about a half-mile east of Interstate 15. It was partially decomposed and had been shot several times.

Department homicide detectives determined the man was dumped at the site. He was found wearing an “access wrist band” for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight in Las Vegas, the arrest report said, leading investigators to think he was in Las Vegas for the Aug. 26 fight prior to his death.

The report identified the deceased as Randall Smith of California. Mohammed said he knew Smith as “Baldy,” according to the police.
A person who knew Smith confirmed to police he was in town for the fight, and he frequently slept on a man’s couch while visiting Las Vegas, the arrest report said. Police later identified the address as Mohammed’s and said he cut hair out of his residence.
