Woman stabbed to death by roommate's son in northeast Las Vegas valley: police
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A woman was killed after her roommate's son stabbed her multiple times at an apartment complex in the northeast Las Vegas valley, police said. Around 5:30 p.m., Las Vegas Metro police responded to reports of the stabbing at an apartment complex on the 6900 block of Dunsbach Way, near East Lake Mead and North Hollywood boulevards. Officers said the woman was found with multiple stab wounds inside the apartment and was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim had been living in the apartment with a roommate, who had invited her 34-year-old son, Mason Mireles, over for a visit, police said. At some point, Mireles left the apartment but returned shortly after, reportedly behaving strangely. Mireles then pulled out a knife, began yelling, and stabbed the woman multiple times. Mireles was taken into custody and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on one count of open murder with a deadly weapon. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Driver tries to flee, gets stuck in the mud instead
CLARK COUNTY, Kan. (KSNW) — A driver who thought he could outrun law enforcement found himself out of luck — and out of traction — after a pursuit ended with his vehicle stuck in the mud. According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the chase began when a Clark County Sheriff's deputy attempted a traffic stop on a blue GMC Sierra. Instead of pulling over, the driver hit the gas, kicking off a multi-agency pursuit across the rural landscape. Suspect arrested after deputy fires shots in Garden City With help from the Kansas Highway Patrol and deputies in Ford and Comanche counties, officers tracked the truck to a spot just east of Kansas Highway 34, south of Road M — where Mother Nature brought the chase to a halt. The pickup ran out of road and got bogged down in the mud, making the suspect an easy catch for officers. 'Always remember, fleeing adds charges… and we will catch you,' the Kansas Highway Patrol wrote in a social media post recapping the incident — punctuated with siren emojis and a reminder that teamwork makes the takedown work. No injuries were reported, and public safety officials praised the coordination between counties and dispatchers who helped bring the muddy pursuit to a safe end. For more Kansas news, click here.

Las Vegas Is One Step Closer to Getting a New Airport—What to Know
Las Vegas could soon get a brand new airport. Plans to build a second airport in the Las Vegas metropolitan area just took a major step forward. On May 19, officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Bureau of Land Management issued a notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement for the Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport in the Ivanpah Valley, located between the small towns of Jean and Primm. Preparing an environmental impact statement is the first step in the federal process for approving a new commercial airport. Local officials called the start of the review a 'major milestone' for the future airport. 'This important step brings us closer to addressing the increasing demand for air travel in one of the nation's fastest growing regions,' Rosemary Vassiliadis, the Clark County director of aviation, said in a statement obtained by Travel + Leisure . The new airport would have two runways and a single terminal building. The proposed site is about 23 miles from the Vegas strip, and could accommodate both domestic and international flights. Plans to build a second airport for the Las Vegas area have been in the works for more than 25 years, but the project has taken on new urgency. Passenger numbers at Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) are estimated to meet its full capacity of 63 million to 65 million fliers per year by 2030, according to the Clark County Department of Aviation. 'As a second commercial airport, SNSA will add much-needed capacity, improve service reliability, and ensure Southern Nevada continues to thrive as a global destination for business and tourism,' Vassiliadis said. With its opulent resorts, over-the-top casinos, and thriving nightlife scene, Las Vegas is a perennial hit with travelers. And in recent years, it's been growing even more popular among visitors, thanks to new events and attractions such as the Las Vegas Grand Prix and the immersive concert venue, the Sphere, which opened in September 2023. The next step in the proposed airport's approval process is for the FAA and the BLM to hold a series of three public meetings in July to cover the potential environmental impact the new facility could have on the surrounding area. One concern, according to the local newspaper The Nevada Current , is whether the airport will threaten endangered species in the Ivanpah Valley, including the desert tortoise and the rare white-margined beardtongue wildflower. The first meeting will be held virtually on July 29, and participants can register on the project's website. Two in-person meetings are scheduled to take place on July 30 at the East Las Vegas Library and on July 31 at Primm Valley Casino Resorts.
