LAS VEGAS - The woman who drove her car onto a side- walk along the Las Vegas Strip, killing one person and injuring 37 others, has been identified as 24-year-old Lakeisha N. Hol- loway, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Joe Lombardo said.
Prosecutors will initially file a single charge of murder with a deadly weapon against Hol- loway, District Attorney Steven Wolfson said. Additional charges are possible, including multiple counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, leaving the scene of an accident and child abuse/neglect, Wolf- son said.
Witnesses said Holloway was driving down Las Vegas Boulevard before her car jumped onto the sidewalk and started striking pedestrians.
She allegedly drove the 1996 Oldsmobile sedan with Oregon plates onto the sidewalk at dif-

ferent spots and hit more people before barreling down the road. According to her arrest re- port, Holloway then left the scene and drove approximately 1 mile before driving onto the property of another hotel and contacting a security officer, asking that officer to call the po- lice because she’d just hit sev-
eral people.
‘Not An Act Of Terrorism’
Police arrived and arrested Holloway. A 3-year-old in the car with her was unharmed.
Authorities ruled out terror- ism but said an initial investiga- tion showed the driver acted deliberately.
“This was not an act of terror- ism,” said Brett Zimmerman, a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department deputy chief. “We are treating this as an inten- tional act.”
Holloway went onto the sidewalk at least three or four times, according to Zimmer- man.
Homicide division officials are looking at numerous surveil- lance videos from the Strip.
The person killed in the crash was identified Monday by the Clark County Coroner’s Office as Jessica Valenzuela, 32, of Buckeye, Arizona.

Judge Announces Sandra Bland’s ‘Wrongful Death’ Suit Set For 2017
Sandra Bland was found dead in her jail cell in Praire View, Texas.
PRARIE VIEW, TEXAS --- U.S. District Judge David Hittner set a 2017 trial date for a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Sandra Bland, a 28-year- old Chicago area woman who was stopped for a minor traffic violation in July, and later found hanging in a Texas cell.
Despite the medical exam-
iner’s ruling Bland’s death was a suicide, Bland’s family re- futes the claim, and is seeking an undisclosed amount in dam- ages from the state trooper that stopped her, Brian Encinia, Texas Department of Public Safety, Waller County and two jailers.
The trial date has been set for
January 23, 2017. Cannon Lam- bert, the Bland family attorney told Judge Hittner he couldn’t accept that Bland, who moved to Texas to take a job at Prairie View A&M University, hung herself in her jail cell with a plastic garbage bag simply be- cause his legal team wasn’t able to examine the report.
Petition With 250,000 Names Calls For Chicago Mayor And DA To Resign
CHICAGO, IL ---A wide coalition of activists has col- lected over 250,000 signature on petition that calls for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez to step down immediately.
ColorOfChange, MoveOn.org, Democracy for America, CREDO collected the signatures after the elected offi- cials failed to hold the Chicago Police Department accountable for the killing of Laquan Mc- Donald.
McDonald, 17, was shot 16 times, over 10 times while was limp on the ground, in October 2014. But details about the shooting only came to light after a judge ordered the release of video that captured the inci- dent.
Chicago Mayor Rahn Emanuel and Chicago DA Anita Alvarez.
the city, the officer, Jason Van Dyke appeared briefly in court on Friday on first-degree mur- der charges in connection with McDonald's shooting.
Last Saturday that newly re-
leased documents in the shoot- ing "show how elaborately po- lice appear to have fabricated their version of that moment and how officers stood by each other in verifying the details."
Activists hold Emanuel and Alvarez accountable for what they call a police coverup of the shooting and a failure to ad- dress crime in the city.
"Anita Alvarez and Rahm Emanuel have had years to clean up the well known abuses of the Chicago Police Depart- ment and have both failed to take action,"ColorOfChange senior campaign director Scott Roberts said. Despite killing more Black people than any de- partment in the country, Chicago police officers are al- most never disciplined or charged for use of excessive force."
