Are there any available statistics on shootings in North Vegas and Vegas proper this year? It seems like they're tallying up really fast.
This woman was the mother of two children.A son 7 or 8 and adaughter 3. The son is the half brother of my 7 year old twins. This is an outrageous crime. These children are left without a mother because a man couldn't control his anger. He has caused so much pain to the family members and friends of Nicole. She was a sweet girl who had turned her life around and loved her kids with every fiber of her being. There is no punishment that fits this type of crime. It is a travestry.
