LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Police are releasing additional information Thursday about an unsolved killing in the Las Vegas valley.
They've shared new video and photos showing a car that hit a man in the intersection of Harmon Avenue and Nellis Boulevard at 3:02 a.m. on Aug. 28.
Before he was hit by a car, police said the man had been stabbed. In an updated news release, they shared additional details about the stabbing, writing that a woman had stabbed the man in self-defense during a physical altercation.
Lt. Jason Johansson explains the initial homicide investigation that started on Wednesday, Aug. 28:
After he was stabbed, police said a blood trail revealed the man made his way to the intersection of Harmon and Nellis, where he was hit by an orange Dodge Challenger. The driver of the car pulled over to remove the vehicle's damaged bumper, then fled, police said previously.
Now police say they've gathered surveillance footage that better identifies the car they're looking for as a 2015 Dodge Challenger with California license plate 8MFG144.
