Las Vegas, NV (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 the Short Line Express store at Jones and Robindale, killing a man in a parked car but missing people in the business.
Jesus Javier Uribe faces 27 felony charges in the Nov. 4 rampage that prosecutors dubbed an act of random terrorism. In all, investigators say Javier-Uribe fired 20 shots in the attack
A grand jury indicted Uribe last month on charges including murder, attempted murder, armed robbery and unlawful discharge of a weapon.
Uribe remains jailed with a court hearing Feb. 23rd on a bid to be freed pending trial, scheduled for March 2023.
Police and prosecutors say Uribe had no known connection with Curtis Leon Abraham, a 36-year-old local filmmaker who was killed as he sat in his car, or three people who ducked for cover in the convenience store.
A motive for the shooting was not determined.
Police issued a plea for help to find the gunman and released a photo of the gunman entering the store before a tip from his family led to Uribe.
