Judge declined to raise $25K bail after monitoring violation, issued stern warning

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) A woman accused of driving under the influence and causing a crash that killed a mother and grandmother who prosecutors had warned was a flight risk is missing.

Gilma Rodriguez-Walters, 53, was killed in the December 2019 crash. She was on her way home from work at a Las Vegas-area Home Depot when Marsha Byrd crashed into her, police said.

Byrd was passing other cars and speeding on Tropical Parkway near Torrey Pines Drive when she lost control of her car and crashed into Rodriguez-Walters, police said. Witnesses and a residential surveillance camera indicated her Mercedes SUV was off the road at one point before the wreck.

In addition to alcohol, a blood test found prescription medications in her system, including Nordazepam, Diazepam and Hydrocodone, police said. After her arrest, a judge set bail at $25,000.

In July 2020, a grand jury indicted Byrd on charges of driving under the influence resulting in death and reckless driving.

Byrd appeared with her lawyer in a virtual arraignment that same month.

Not guilty, sir, she told then-District Court Judge Douglas Herndon. Herndon is now a Nevada Supreme Court justice.

And just keep in contact with your attorney, Miss Byrd, OK? Herndon told her.

Yes, she said.

Two months later, Byrd was back in court, accused of violating the conditions of her release. Court documents indicate testing found alcohol in Byrds system.

Prosecutors argued for Herndon to increase bail to $100,000 and put Byrd on house arrest, warning she could flee.

Overwhelming evidence, including video of defendant driving, numerous witness statements, and chemical analysis of defendants blood, renders a conviction extremely likely, Frank LoGrippo, the prosecutor on the case, wrote in a motion to increase bail.

Upon conviction, defendant is facing a non-probationable prison sentence of two to twenty years in the Nevada Department of Corrections for the charge of driving under the influence resulting in death, alone, LoGrippo wrote. This reality makes defendant a flight risk.

Byrds attorney argued his client was battling breast cancer and that the alcohol in her system may have been from hair products she was using. Byrd denied consuming any alcohol since the crash.

Herndon declined to raise bail, but instead ordered Byrd not to drive.

If theres any more problems and I have to remand you into custody I can guarantee you, you will not get health care that you need in the detention center, Herndon warned Byrd.

My daughter is 7 years old and she still cries for grandma, Rodriguez-Walters daughter, Ruth Neall, told the 8 News Now I-Team. I want to say my mom died on impact.

Byrd was due in court on Feb. 1 and did not show. A warrant is out for her arrest.

She should be in prison, Neall said. She should be suffering the consequences for this, but shes not. So, where is she?

Neal questions why Byrd was released and released with driving privileges in the first place. Records show she is a 4-time convicted felon.

Little did I know, she still had her drivers license up until that point, Neall said. Its a failure of whatevers happening in the legal system in Las Vegas, right?

Neall said her family was looking forward to Byrds trial, hoping its outcome would finally provide them closure.

Wheres Marsha? Neall said. I want to find Marsha. If I were in Vegas right now, Id be looking for her myself.

If found, Byrd would be taken into custody and taken to the Clark County Detention Center. She would automatically be held without bail.

Byrds lawyer nor Herndon returned requests for comment.

I-Team: Las Vegas driver deemed flight risk, accused of killing grandmother in DUI crash, is now missing - KLAS - 8 News Now

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) A 29-year-old Las Vegas man was convicted by a federal jury Tuesday in an identity fraud scheme that targeted the mailboxes of more than 300 victims, according to the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Nevada.

Nosa Frank Obayando was found guilty of mail theft, using an unauthorized device and identity theft. Although the convictions were only on a single count for each charge, Obayando faces a minimum of two years in prison and possibly as much as 17 years.

Obayando and co-defendant Efeturi Ariawhorai were accused in the 2017 scheme that involved forwarding mail of 300 victims and using a debit card to withdraw at least $5,000 in cash from ATMs in the Las Vegas valley after opening bank accounts in victims names. The victims never knew their email was being forwarded.

Obayando was convicted following a two-day trial in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Andrew P. Gordon. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 1.

Ariawhorai has been arrested by authorities in Italy and is awaiting extradition.

Acting U.S. Attorney Christopher Chiou for the District of Nevada made the announcement. The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

Please report suspected mail fraud and mail theft to the USPIS by calling 877-876-2455 or by making a report online at https://www.uspis.gov/report.

Las Vegas, Henderson among cities with highest one-bedroom rent prices, report says - Fox 5 Las Vegas

Las Vegas is in the midst of another transition that could change the city's skyline and elevate the international profile of the city.

Whether it's attracting professional sports leagues to the town or attracting world-class entertainers to performance residencies, Las Vegas has been on a roll over the past few years.

With the new and coming attractions on the way, Sin City needs to grow.

Transportation, lodging, and other logistical kinks will have to be worked out before Vegas can reach its full potential and this week the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority put out specifics on where the city is headed.

Las Vegas saw 32.2 million visitors in 2021, a 70% year-over-year increase from 2020 when the Coronavirus pandemic was at its height. The city's convention industry didn't have the same type of strong recovery with 2.2 million attendees reported in 2021, a 28% year over year increase.

Here's a look at what is in the future plans for the gambling oasis in the desert.

Image source: Robert Mora/Getty Images.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is projecting the spending of $4.512 billion in 29 new projects that are expected to add 7,602 hotel rooms and 791,000 square feet of convention space in Southern Nevada by the end of 2024.

By the end of 2024, Vegas will have more than 158,000 hotel rooms.

The LVCVA expects the city to add 766 additional rooms this spring with the reopening of the Palms resort and casino under the management of new owners, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.

The opening of a Holiday Inn Express will add another 127 rooms.

The biggest project in the pipeline is Fontainebleau Las Vegas on the Strip. The hotel will feature 3,780 hotel rooms and 550,000 square feet of meeting space when it is completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.

This new mega-casino, which sits on the North Strip, would be part of a major effort to revitalize that second of the 4.2 road. It's an important project because it, along with a potential new North Strip Arena along with some other casino projects, could provide a viable alternative to the Caesars Entertainment (CZR) - Get Caesars Entertainment Inc Report and MGM Resorts International (MGM) - Get MGM Resorts International Report casinos which dominate the central and southern Strip.

Caesars also has a massive project planned as it will be revamping its Bally's property and renaming it with its Horseshoe Brand. MGM has big plans as well as it will be taking over the operation of The Cosmpolittan, although the company has not announced any major changes for that property.

The $1.9 billion MSG (MSGE) Sphere at The Venetian is a 17,500-seat entertainment venue that is targeted for completion by the end of 2023.

Meanwhile, six new properties are planned for completion in 2024 with the biggest being the 720-room, nongaming Majestic Las Vegas which is being built for $850 million at the site across the street from the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Also scheduled for completion in 2024 is the $500 million, 527-room Dream Las Vegas.

To help accommodate all of these potential new tourists there are multiple transportation projects in the works including an $8 billion speed rail project and a 29-mile, 51-station Las Vegas Loop underground transit project being built by Elon Musk's The Boring Co.

A big part of Vegas' growth is coming from outside of its traditional gaming industry.

Professional sports is in the midst of a love affair with the city with the recent additions of NFL and NHL franchises.

Major League Baseball has been flirting with the city in an attempt to squeeze a new stadium deal out of the Oakland Athletics. The A's have been in active negotiations with multiple sites on or adjacent to The Las Vegas Strip.

And now there is a report that the NBA could be interested in granting the city an expansion team in the near future. There have also been rumors that Vegas could add a Major League Soccer team, although no concrete plans for that have been made public.

Las Vegas could become an even bigger sports oasis in the middle of the desert to go along with all of the other entertainment the city has to offer.

Las Vegas mom wants to find, thank teen who returned wallet - Fox 5 Las Vegas

The connoisseur class knows all too well that Las Vegas is a wonderland for anything and everything in the culinary realm. The citys top restaurants offer high-roller dining with gourmet foodie pleasures from around the world and that includes caviar.

The recent opening of the new Caviar Bar at Resorts World ushers in a new level of sturgeon roe indulgence. Heres where to get the best, most luscious presentations of prized pearls in Vegas.

Michelin-starred chef Shaun Hergatt has opened a jewel box restaurant and bar at Resorts World Las Vegas, offering indulgent plates of cured meats, oysters, crudos, cheeses and seafood dishes. But Hergatts selections of Kaluga, Golden Ossetra and Sevruga are the stars, served with traditional accompaniments ($275-$350). The high design in dark, gleaming, caviar colors sends this experience over the top. 3000 S. Las Vegas Blvd.; caviarbarlv.com

One of the citys favorite chefs returns with a sumptuous new restaurant in Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The seasonal Mediterranean menu shows English at his most accomplished, including a starter of griddled honey cake topped with olive oil crme frache and Sevruga caviar ($30). 4455 Paradise; virginhotelslv.com

The menu may pay homage to Old World Italian flavors but the experience at this Spiegelworld-produced experience at Cosmopolitan Las Vegas is decidedly new. Expect wall-to-wall eye candy, music and interactive entertainment as you sup on a white clam pie topped with bacon, scallions, lemon and Ossetra caviar ($39). 3708 S. Las Vegas Blvd.; superfrico.com

The vintage supper club inside Wynn Las Vegas aims to take social dining to a new level (although the no photo policy is deliciously anti-social media). The gorgeous interiors provide the perfect frame for the menus Russian Ossetra caviar service ($225), as well as the smoked salmon potato latke dotted with caviar and crme frache ($38). 3131 S. Las Vegas Blvd.; wynnlasvegas.com

The legendary French chefs eponymous restaurant at Caesars Palace just introduced a new dish, Caviar and Langoustine: lobster-like prawn marinated in citrus, lemongrass and kafir leaf served with pickled mango, chutney, caviar and langoustine consomm with miso. Regal dining, for sure. 3570 S. Las Vegas Blvd.; caesars.com

Wolfgang Pucks steakhouse at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas offers caviar lovers two options: Russian Kaluga hybrid ($135) and Israeli Ossetra ($155) presented with traditional accompaniments. Pair the caviar with oysters or seafood tower sea gems and you have a truly high-roller starter. 3355 S. Las Vegas Blvd.; venetianlasvegas.com

Superchef Thomas Keller founded his own caviar company, Regiis Ova, to provide the highest quality, affordable, sustainable farmed caviar. And thats what youll find at his signature restaurant at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas: Ossetra, $110; hybrid, $95; Supreme, $78 (per ounce). 3355 S. Las Vegas Blvd.; venetianlasvegas.com

This see-and-be-seen lair off the lobby of Bellagio Resort & Casino serves bubbles and caviar nibbles from what many consider to be the finest purveyor of sturgeon roe. In addition to many straight caviar choices, the menu also includes caviar tacos, caviar pie and an Ossetra caviar cigar served with the Bellagio Martini. 3600 S. Las Vegas Blvd.; petrossian.com

Where to get the best caviar in Las Vegas - Houston Chronicle

Bill Simmons believes we could see the NBA expand to 32 teams, with new franchises in Las Vegas and Seattle, in the near future.

Speaking on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Simmons said he thinks Fenway Sports Group and LeBron James will be involved in eventual expansion ventures.

Theyve been circling different NBA teams for a while, Simmons said of FSG, which owns the Red Sox, Liverpool FC and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Both Vegas and Seattle would be logical places to expand, with both cities already having arenas and fan bases that would be ready to go. T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas has hosted the NBA All-Star Game, Pac-12 Tournament and a plethora of other college basketball games. The success of the Raiders and Golden Knights in the city is also promising.

Seattle has long been thought of as a destination for NBA expansion, since the Supersonics were upended in 2008. The NHLs Kraken just became the citys newest team, and their Climate Pledge Arena hosted an Alabama-Gonzaga basketball game earlier this season.

I dont know what the possibilities would be, but I think Seattle and Vegas are going to have teams, Simmons said. Thats happening.

James, whose net worth is reportedly close to $1 billion, would be a logical choice to be involved in an ownership group. Simmons specifically linked him to a potential team in Vegas.

I think its officially real LeBron is definitely going to be involved in that, Simmons said.

Exactly when such expansion would occur is unclear, but as Simmons pointed out, the expansion fees would help make up for revenue losses the league has suffered due to COVID-19.

In a December 2020 press conference, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said expansion is sort of the manifest destiny of the league but that it wasnt on the front burner.

MISC: NOSFERATUF.W. Murnaus German Expressionist horror film Nosferatu debuted in March 1922. It was an unauthorized, freewheeling adaptation of Bram Stokers novel Dracula, which at the time was only 25 years old. (Putting that into perspective: The first Harry Potter novel turns 25 this year.) Murnau took a few liberties with the source material to disguise its origins, among them changing the name of the title character to Orlok, jettisoning most of its characters and changing the ending. Stokers widow sued to prevent the release of Nosferatu, won the rights to the film and tried to destroy all prints of itan effort that, thankfully, failed.

The Sci Fi Center has screened Nosferatu several times before now, but this is a special occasion: the classic silent films 100th birthday, a proper milestone even for an immortal. Pianist Andrew Tyler will provide live accompaniment to Max Schrecks terrifying performance as the first vampire ever to appear in film. All ages are welcome, though with his razor-sharp teeth and nails, Count Orlok might be a bit much for young children. He might be a little much for some adults, too, but thats the fun of it. 8 p.m., $10, thescificenter.com. Geoff Carter

Like the great Carl Sagan before him, Tyson has a gift for expressing complex scientific ideas in simple, relatable terms without sounding like hes dumbing things down. (He also has a talent for putting our brief lives in perspective; if youre feeling indestructible, ask him about the inevitable heat death of the universe, and stand well back.) Tyson strives to get his audiences to respect the tenacity of scientists on the frontier who are daily steeped in ignorance, and over the course of 150 minutes at Reynolds Hall, he should be able to convince you to meet those scientists at least halfway. 7:30 p.m., $39-$125. thesmithcenter.com.

What to do in Las Vegas this week (March 3-9 edition) - Las Vegas Weekly

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) Abbott Nutrition has expanded its baby formula recall after reports of another infant's death.

The Food and Drug Administration announced in an update on Monday that the recall had been expanded to include one lot of Similac PM 60/40.

On Feb. 17, Abbott initially recalled certain Alimentum, Similac, and EleCare baby formulas made at its Sturgis, Michigan, facility.

Health officials announced the new update after another infant tested positive for Cronobacter sakazakii died.

The FDA said their investigation includes four reports of Cronobacter sakazakii infections in infants (three from FDA complaints and one from a CDC case finding) and one complaint of a Salmonella Newport infection in an infant.

Las Vegas valley pediatrician Dr. Atousa Ghaneian with Healthy Kids Care says shes had to clear her own shelves of the formula.

She says symptoms to look out for include poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, vomiting, rashes, blood in stool or urine and lethargy.

If your child is experiencing any of those symptoms, Dr. Ghaneian suggests first calling your pediatrician.

If the infant is having some irritability, some rash, have the pediatrician see them that day and examine them. If the baby is very irritable, has consistence of vomiting or rash, a very high fever, they cant get in touch with their pediatrician or sometimes its in the middle of the night or after hours, I would suggest taking them to the emergency room to get fully evaluated, Dr. Ghaneian added.

If you need to clear your shelves, Dr. Ghaneian says you can find similar formulas through other brands that wont upset your babys stomach.

For example, if youre using Similac for spit-up, Enfamil A.R. is a formula thats similar in product and price.

The impacted batches have lot numbers that start with a 22 through 37. If youre not sure whether the formula you have is on the recall list, you can head to SimilacRecall.com to check.
