Miami woman struck, killed while jaywalking near Strip

A Miami woman was killed Thursday after being struck by two vehicles while illegally crossing a street, Las Vegas police said.

The accident happened about 6 p.m. on Sands Avenue just south of Wynn Las Vegas, police said.

The unidentified 35-year-old woman was crossing Sands from the north to the south, not in a marked crosswalk, when she was struck by a 2007 Dodge Ram truck, police said.

Immediately after the impact, the woman was struck by an unknown white SUV, police said. The driver of the SUV stopped for a short time before leaving the scene of the accident. The driver of the truck has not been charged.

The woman was transported to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Police are seeking information on the SUV and its driver. Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 385-5555.

This was the 28th fatal accident in Las Vegas police jurisdiction this year.

ID released

Coroner: Man's fatal gunshot at shooting park self-inflicted

The man found dead at a Las Vegas shooting park Thursday has been identified as Jacques Lawrence Stanley of Las Vegas.

Stanley, 50, died of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Clark County coroner's office.

His identity and cause of death were released Friday.

Stanley was found at 12:30 p.m. Thursday at a target shooting area inside the Desert Sportsman's Rifle and Pistol Club at 12201 W. Charleston Blvd., west of Desert Foothills Drive, according to Las Vegas police.

Homicide detectives investigated, which is routine in any unnatural death, said police spokesman Bill Cassell.

Help had been sought

Police: Boy, age 11, reported missing is back home

An 11-year-old boy reported missing Thursday has returned home, according to Las Vegas police.

Police had asked for the public's help in locating Shae Lopez, who had last been seen Wednesday afternoon near The Orleans.

Lower ruling overturned

Court rules one failed sobriety test enough to revoke license

Only one failed sobriety test is needed to revoke a person's driver's license, according to the Nevada Supreme Court.

While state law requires two consecutive tests, Thursday's ruling by a three-judge panel states only one must be over the legal limit of 0.08 percent to revoke a license.

The opinion overturns a lower court ruling by Clark County District Judge Michelle Leavitt.

Justices say the requirement that two samples be taken with results within 0.02 percent is to validate the tests' accuracy.

The case involved Aundrea Taylor-Caldwell. Her first breath test came back at 0.073 percent, under the legal limit. The second was 0.083 percent. Both were within the validation range.
