Las Vegas police said Wednesday they had obtained an arrest warrant on a murder charge for Daniel Rodimer, 45.
Tapp, 47, died in Las Vegas after authorities responded to an Oct. 29 report of a "purported accident," authorities said in January.
Tapp's lawyer previously told "Dateline" that he'd gone to a Las Vegas car show and was hospitalized and in a coma after he fell and hit his head on a coffee table in his hotel.
Homicide detectives later discovered Tapp had been in a fight before the hospitalization, police said.
