Treyvon Taylor, 28, was arrested and federally charged with carjacking resulting in death after police say he ran over a man who tried to stop him from stealing his vehicle in Henderson. The victim died at the scene on Nov. 10.
A 28-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Henderson that Las Vegas Metropolitan Police detectives believe may have been a deliberate act, according to authorities.
Treyvon Taylor was taken into custody on Nov. 13 by patrol officers and, with assistance from the FBI, was federally charged with carjacking resulting in death. He was booked into the Henderson Detention Center.
The incident began on Nov. 10 at about 11:33 a.m., when LVMPD Communications received a report of a vehicle-versus-pedestrian collision near the intersection of South Glenn Davis Drive and Dennis Way. The vehicle involved fled the area, police said.
Responding officers found an injured man lying in the roadway, requested medical assistance, and began rendering aid. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to police, the victim saw his vehicle being stolen from his driveway, exited his house, and tried to stop the theft by standing in front of the vehicle. The vehicle accelerated forward, struck him, and fled the scene.
Patrol officers initiated an investigation and quickly determined the collision appeared deliberate. The LVMPD Homicide Section was notified and responded.
The identity of the deceased, along with the cause and manner of death, will be released by the Clark County Coronerâs Office.
