Three held without bail in Summerlin shooting
Wednesday, July 14, 1999 | 11:24 a.m.
When rivals decided to take their feud to the exclusive Summerlin area, it resulted in the shooting death of a 20-year-old man and the arrest of three others following a high-speed chase.
Today Justice of the Peace Nancy Oesterle ordered the three men charged in the murder to be held without bail until their July 29 preliminary hearing on charges that could carry the death penalty.
Adam Aguilar, 22, Ismael Vargas, 19, and Eliodoro Cabrera Jr., 20, stood next to their attorneys in court as they were arraigned on charges of committing the first homicide in the northwest Las Vegas development in five years.
The July 9 incident began when the occupants of two cars had a fatal confrontation at Summerlin Parkway and Rampart Boulevard.
A man in one car jumped out and ran to the car in front, firing at least 10 shots through the passenger side and killing Deangelo Jackson, of North Las Vegas.
A 19-year-old man in the back seat was shot in the leg and had to be treated at University Medical Center, where he was taken after the driver of his car raced to a friend's house. Jackson, however, was dead when police arrived.
The car carrying the defendants sped north on Rampart Boulevard. The trio abandoned the car at Buffalo and Vegas drives and fled on foot, but were apprehended by pursuing officers.
