Death penalty to be sought in Las Vegas store shooting case
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Prosecutors have filed documents to seek the death penalty against a 22-year-old man accused of donning battle gear and firing at least 20 shots outside and inside a Las Vegas convenience store, killing a man in a parked car but missing people in the business. Jesus Uribe of Las Vegas faces 27 felony charges in the Nov. 4 rampage that prosecutors dubbed an act of random terrorism. Uribe’s public defender declined to comment Tuesday about Friday’s court filing. Uribe remains jailed with a court hearing Feb. 23 on a bid to be freed pending trial. That’s scheduled for March 2023.
