Las Vegas crash suspect Lakeisha Holloway: What we know

  • 8 years ago
"I was a scared little girl who knew that there was more to life outside of crime, drug addiction, lower income, alcoholism, being undereducated - all of which I grew up being familiar with."
Thanks to the nonprofit, she went from homelessness to a job with the federal government and "living the grand life."
But now, the 24-year-old faces charges of murder, leaving the scene of an accident, and child abuse or neglect after allegedly plowing into dozens of pedestrians with her 3-year-old daughter inside her car.
Holloway told authorities that before the crash, she had been trying to rest or sleep in her car with her daughter, but kept getting run off by security at the places wherever she stopped, according to her arrest report.
Meanwhile, three victims were in critical condition Tuesday and two others in serious condition at the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, said spokeswoman Danita Cohen.
