  • Tineesha Lashun Howard: Connection To Vegas Shooting

    Tineesha Lashun Howard, a 22-year old Florida woman, is being sought in connection to the deadly Vegas Strip shooting that left 3 people dead last week.

    Police say Howard was likely in the black Range Rover that suspect Ammar Harris was driving when he fired shots at fellow rapper Kenny Cherry, Jr. and are trying to track her down for questioning. Because Harris has a long criminal record–including robbery, sexual assault, kidnapping and soliciting prostitution, officials say Harris is considered a missing and possibly endangered person.

    Harris has been the subject of a manhunt since the shooting last Thursday, which immediately killed Cherry and caused his Maserati to spin out of control, creating a chain-reaction crash that involved several other vehicles and killed two people in a taxi, including the driver. The cab company has pledged $35,000 to anyone who can help police track down Harris.

    “I’m confident he’s going to be charged and prosecuted for murder and other related offenses,” Las Vegas DA Steve Wolfson said. “Let’s just get him into custody, because this is a dangerous man.”

    Howard is described as being 5-feet 8-inches tall and around 120 pounds, with green eyes and dark hair. She is also known as Yenesis Alfonzo. Harris is described as 26 years, old, about 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information about Howard or Harris is asked to call Metro’s Homicide Section at (702) 828-3521, or Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.

  • Vegas Strip Shooting Ends In Fiery Crash; 3 Dead

    A shootout on the Vegas Strip turned deadly for a driver and two innocent people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time early Thursday morning.

    Vegas police say a suspect in a black Range Rover began shooting at the driver of a Maserati in front of Bally’s Hotel and Casino; the driver was killed, and the Maserati crashed into a taxi, causing an explosion and the death of the taxi driver and a passenger.

    “There was a loud bang and I hear two other booms. I looked out my window at Caesars Palace … and could see a fireball,” said witness John Lamb.

    One report says that there were five cars involved in the shootout/crash, and that several people were injured. Investigators are still at the scene of the crash and say they are looking for a black Range Rover with dark tinted windows and distinctive black rims. They don’t believe anyone else was shooting.
