LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The suspect accused of a deadly shooting at Aliante casino on Thursday and then allegedly carjacking three vehicles as he attempted to flee police has been identified.
Aerion Warmsley, 19, is facing charges of murder and robbery with the use of a deadly weapon. He was taken into custody Thursday following a car chase that reached speeds in excess of 100 mph, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan police.
Warmsley is accused of killing a person at the Aliante casino around 4:30 a.m. When North Las Vegas police arrived at the scene, the suspect had already left.
Las Vegas police became involved after responding to a report of a stolen car about three hours later. Warmsley is accused of leading police on a chase and carjacking at least three drivers before crashing into a bus stop on Boulder Highway and Tropicana. Two people at a bus stop were injured.
Warmsley is being held at the North Las Vegas Detention center.
