LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said 34-year-old Domico Mangum was arrested Tuesday after he fled from a southwest crash in August this year.
Police said Mangum allegedly shot toward Nevada State Highway Patrol Trooper Martin Moran at midnight on Aug. 11 near Tuscan Sun Drive and Mountain's Edge Parkway.
Mangum was the passenger of a car that 30-year-old Chayson Lawson was driving, according to police. The two were traveling in a sedan near Moutain's Edge Parkway and Rainbow Boulevard at 66 mph in a 35 mph zone.
Police said Moran tried to conduct a traffic stop, but Mangum stepped out of the car in the passenger side and shot at Moran while still seated inside his marked patrol unit. Police confirmed that no officers or community members were injured.
Mangum then returned to the vehicle, and the two fled until they crashed into a wall. Both fled on foot. Lawson was arrested and booked in absentia into the Clark County Detention Center, police said.
