Las Vegas man killed in shooting on I-15

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – A shooting on I-15 that left a Valleyfather dead was the result of road rage, according to a new arrest warrant.

On August 8, 30-year-old Darin Algee was killed in a shooting on southbound I-15 near Flamingo. On Monday, Las Vegas Metro Police announced the arrest of two suspects: 23-year-old Jasahn Lovette and 18-year-old Damarion Bell.

According to police, surveillance footage captured from a FedEx truck that was also driving in the area showed the white Jeep Renegade passing at a high rate of speed and switching between lanes before driving toward Algee’s Audi.

“The Audi then spun to the right, then to the left, back to the right, then to the left and hit the center wall,” the arrest warrant states.

During an initial search of Algee’s vehicle, several bullets were recovered from inside the vehicle.

Nearly two weeks later, LVMPD’s Fusion Center was notified that a commercial license plate scanner had located the white Jeep. North Las Vegas police officers were able to retrieve the Jeep from a parking lot in the 1000 block of East Carey Avenue.

Surveillance footage provided by a resident showed the suspects parking the vehicle and “wiping it down with a towel” before leaving it behind. The vehicle, which police learned was stolen, was taken into custody and several pieces of possible evidence were seized.

After reviewing DNA evidence recovered from the Jeep and comparing surveillance footage of the suspects, police were able to identify Lovette and Bell as suspects.

Both Bell and Lovette were taken into custody on Friday, October 18th. In an arrest report, Metro police say Lovette was arrested after she stole a vehicle and fled from police along with a third, unrelated suspect.

Both suspects are due in court on Thursday, October 24th for a status check.
