In a tragic update from Las Vegas, police have made a second arrest in connection with the fatal shooting that left one woman dead and a man severely wounded in early December 2024. The incident took place in the 3800 block of Soda Springs Drive, near Cheyenne Avenue and Walnut Road, in the northeast valley.
The attack unfolded in the early hours, when multiple suspects approached a vehicle containing a man and a woman. Without warning, they opened fire, leaving the woman dead at the scene.
