Killing 1 person, and injuring dozens. Will appear in court this morning for the first time. The official charges against Lakeisha Holloway were filed by the District Attorneys Office. Fox5s miguel martinezvalle tells us what the taking into account in their case. My thoughts are that what she did is inexcusable. This was not a lady that ran a red light, this was not a lady that made a wrong turn. This was a lady that turned onto a sidewalk, ran over many people, continued to drive on a sidewalk, went back on to the street, and then back onto an intersection where there was a crowd of people. The District Attorneys Office filed three charges against the Las Vegas Strip crash suspect. And these three charges alone carry heavy penalties. Officials are saying the Death Penalty is a consideration for her murder charge, her 3yearold daughter, who was in the car at the time of the crash, is currently with Child Protective Services and a new nevada law makes leaving the scene of an accident punishable by up to 20 years in prison. I think its a fair thing to say its a starting point because i do anticipate multiple charges. Holloway didnt give a reason as to why she ended up on the sidewalk but did tell police she was having a stressfull day and had been living in her car about a week. Holloways family has spoken out in her defense, saying they dont believe she rammed into people on purpose. You know shes exhausted, shes not this villain that theyre creating her to be. In a press conference the president of the oregon based non profit holloway was a part of spoke of his positive experience her. Lakeisha was a rolemodel, she was a rolemodel for many of the youth that we serve in our community. He said holloway gave no signs of trouble when she graduated the portland opportunities industrialization center, but he mentioned they lost contact with her once she graduated and moved away. We had two Staff Members in particular who spent a lot of time with lakeisha and they were shocked to hear what had happened. Still las vegas authorities are saying that videos and witness testinomy show that the crash was not an accident. And the fact that she kept driving while people were trying to get her to stop, she admited that a body bounced so ofcourse thats all taken into consideration when we determine what crimes she should be charged with. Miguel Martinez Valle fox5news local las vegas. Three of the victims from the deadly crash are still in Critical Condition at umc. And three patients are in Good Condition at Sunrise Hospital an overnight accident ended with an officer and driver in the hospital.

Later, that same night there was another officer involved shooting this timepolice say they were investigating 3 men for robbery when the father of one of the men pointed a gun at officers.

This incident happened near police fired back at the suspect, who they identified as roberto sanchez. Sanchez died in the shooting. Metro also spoke about how relieved officers were, to find the suspect in thursdays shooting. After one of their own was injured.
