The suspected drunken driver in the crash that killed three Las Vegas students in California has been released from police custody. Jail records show Bani Duarte was released from police custody Sunday morning. Duarte rear-ended a car full of teenagers stopped at a red light early Thursday morning, resulting in the death of three. She is accused of driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter. A vigil was held Tuesday night at Centennial Hills High School to remember the teens.
UNLV President Len Jessup announced Tuesday that he is leaving UNLV for a school in California. Jessup will serve as president of Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California. The announcement came in a three-page letter to the campus community. “This is a bittersweet decision for both Kristi and me given the true love we have for UNLV and the enormous amount of love expressed over the past several weeks from thousands of colleagues and friends — both on and off campus,” Jessup said. His first day on the new job is July 1.
