LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Video obtained by the 8 News Now I-Team shows the moments before the manager of a Las Vegas casino confronted a man who stole a customer’s purse before that man ran her over, killing her, in a stolen car.
The homicide happened in the 6100 block of Flamingo Road near Jones Boulevard around 6 p.m. Wednesday.
The Clark County coroner’s office identified the victim as Alicia Gibellina, 60.
Police said a Black man in his 20s came into the business and sat at a video poker machine. The man then got up and grabbed a woman’s purse and ran into the parking lot.
The video shows a woman, believed to be Gibellina, running after the man to his car, which was parked right outside the front door. The manager then confronts him as he gets into a car. Police said the man pulled a handgun, causing the woman to back away from the car toward its rear.
The driver then put the car in reverse, hit a parked car and ran over Gibellina as he drove off. The I-Team is not showing the part of the video where she is hit.
Police confirmed Thursday that the car involved, a black 2012 Mercedes GL5, was stolen. The SUV was reported stolen last Saturday and has Nevada license plate 565T77, police said.
A business in the area shared the video with the I-Team in hopes of finding the driver.
Representatives at Dotty’s had no comment Thursday.
