‘Loving and selfless' 81-year-old woman killed in hit-and-run, Nevada police say
The family of an 81-year-old woman killed in a hit-and-run in Nevada is asking for help finding the driver responsible. When Joe and Margaret Brown lost their sister to COVID-19, Joe Brown convinced Margaret Brown, affectionately referred to as Peggy, to move to Las Vegas in January. 'We wanted her close where we could watch out for her,' Joe Brown said at a July 9 news conference. However, just six months later, Margaret Brown was killed while crossing a street. It happened just before 10 p.m. June 13, when a 2016-2019 dark-colored Nissan Sentra struck Margaret Brown in an intersection, according to a June 17 news release from police. 'Peggy did everything right that night. She walked in a marked crosswalk at the appropriate time, but somehow lost her life at the hands of a driver who cowardly fled the scene,' Lieutenant Cody Fulwiler, with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, said. Margaret Brown died from her injuries on June 16, police said. 'We are devastated that somebody hurt her and left her in the road and didn't help her,' Tina Brown, who is married to Margaret Brown's nephew, said. Fulwiler said while investigating the case police got to learn how 'loving and selfless' Margaret Brown was. Now, her family and friends have a message for the person responsible for her death. 'Turn yourself in. The longer this case is open, the worse it's gonna get for you and your family. Eventually, they will find you,' Greg Yankovsky, a friend of Margaret Brown, said. Police are asking anyone with information to call the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department — Collision Investigation Section at (702) 828-3595 or, in order to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555 or visit

Fleeing Police, Suspect Carjacks BMW To Keep Running
Read the full story on The Auto Wire This police chase featuring a Georgia trooper driving like a professional wheelman, a suspect carjacking a BMW, and more is gripping. It's more nerve racking and interesting than just about any movie car chase scene as a desperate suspect and a desperate trooper match starts with the trooper trying to pull over a crappy car (a Nissan Sentra?) for a traffic violation. The thing is beat up, has a busted taillight, and it's not a great option for fleeing from police. Still, the suspect tries to run. But soon enough he pulls into a parking lot and ditches the econo-box, running away on foot and using a gun to carjack a BMW from some poor innocent bystander. As the guy tears out of the neighborhood where he took the Bimmer, cops start swarming. We can't imagine what the guy's thinking with the extreme show of force, but he keeps on driving like crazy to try getting away. He gaps the trooper by a good distance before too long, pushing the little German car for all it's worth. But the trooper keeps it together, relying on his training even though he knows in the back of his mind if he loses the armed and clearly dangerous man, some innocent person might be killed. Taking to the interstate, the suspect passes on the shoulders, thanks to fairly thick traffic. There are plenty of close calls as the speed and potential danger of the chase elevate dramatically. One close call in particular with another cruiser crossing the median makes the trooper scream in terror as he almost wrecks out. All that hard driving leads to one of the tires on the BMW blowing out. He keeps pushing the stolen car, even though he's clearly having trouble controlling it. Sadly, we don't get to see the conclusion to this chase, apparently because YouTube thought it was too much. We see him crash the BMW, but in the rest of the foot he gets out with the gun pointed at his head. Somehow, troopers are able to de-escalate the situation and take the guy into custody without further violence.
