Video of suspect in Friday shootings released
Las Vegas police on Tuesday released a video of a “person of interest” connected to a fatal drive-by shooting that killed a bystander Friday night.
The person is only described by the police as a “young male” with short, curly hair.
It wasn’t immediately clear when the video was recorded, how detectives obtained it or how the person is connected to the shooting.
Cassandra Cassidy, 24, of Las Vegas, was gunned down in the 1300 block of Westwind Avenue, near Jones Road and Charleston Boulevard Friday night by people in a white two-door car, Las Vegas police said.
She was talking to two “frightened females” who wanted to use her phone to call for help because they were scared of “males in a vehicle,” police said.
The video shows someone filming from a back seat of a vehicle. The driver and the passenger were shown slapping each other. Metro froze the video on the front passenger who is seen turning to the camera.
No arrests have been announced as of Tuesday night.
