Jury selection complete in Luxor bombing trial
Jury selection was completed late this afternoon in the trial of two men accused of setting a homemade bomb in a Luxor parking garage in 2007 and killing one person.
Omar Rueda-Denvers and Porfirio Duarte-Herrera could face the death penalty if they are found guilty of the murder charges.
The jury, including two alternates, is made up of 13 women and one man and was selected over four days. Opening statements before Clark County District Judge Michael Villani will begin at 9 a.m. Friday.
The pipe bomb killed Willebaldo Dorantes Antonio. Authorities say Dorantes Antonio, a 24-year-old employee at Nathan's Famous hot dog restaurant in the Luxor food court, was targeted because he was in a relationship with Rueda-Denvers' ex-girlfriend, Caren Chali. Both men have pleaded not guilty.
