“There was no warning,” Tiacherelle Dotson said. “There was nothing. There was no time to do anything. No fire alarms, no smoke detectors. I barely had time to get out.”
Courts
The owner of the Alpine Motel has put the property up for sale and sold more than half of his Nevada real estate this summer worth more than $5 million, records show.
At the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, a judge will decide whether there is enough evidence for the manslaughter case to go to trial.
A preliminary hearing began Tuesday afternoon in the involuntary manslaughter case against the landlord and property manager of the Alpine Motel Apartments.
A judge set bail at $50,000 for Adolfo Orozco, the landlord of a downtown Las Vegas apartment building where six people died in a fire in December.
Chief Deputy District Attorney John Giordani also asked a judge to order Adolfo Orozco to surrender his passport, citing “substantial ties” to other states and Mexico.
