- Following a gunfight with police in the southwest Las Vegas
Valley on Wednesday, the guy who was suspected of killing his mother and carjacking several vehicles while he escaped from them has perished, according to the authorities.
Around 3:45 a.m., police were called to a shooting scene close to Placid Street and Maulding Avenue.
A Metropolitan Police Department vehicle was struck by gunfire and an unidentified man in his 30s stole the police vehicle before leading officers in a pursuit, Capt. Joshua Martinez told reporters.
Lt. Jason Johansson said the mother and father of the man heard gunshots and went looking for their son. When they found him he shot at them striking his mother.
The man drove the police vehicle to the 7300 block of Durango Drive where he carjacked a person’s vehicle and drove to the 8500 block of Blue Diamond Road, Martinez said. There, the suspect carjacked another vehicle and an officer fired at the man.
