Sounilak Ouchlaeun
Man run over by car in driveway
A 33-year-old Las Vegas woman is in jail, accused of running her car over her boyfriend and killing him after a dispute Monday night in Spring Valley.
The incident, which initially was investigated as a traffic accident, happened about 10 p.m. Monday in the 4300 block of Mammoth Creek Drive, near Flamingo Road and Buffalo Drive, Metro Police said.
Officers arrived to find Conrado Mendoza dead under the 2010 Toyota Venza, police said.
Police determined Mendoza and his girlfriend, Sounilak Ouchlaeun, had been living together since Nov. 1 and had been involved in an altercation that evening. A Metro Police arrest report indicated the two had been drinking when they got into an argument over Ouchlaeun’s interaction with co-workers at the Rio. Both Mendoza and Ouchlaeun worked at the casino.
Mendoza’s friend, who was inside the home at the time, said Mendoza broke a cabinet in anger, and both Ouchlaeun and Mendoza struck each other, the report said. Ouchlaeun told police she had seen Mendoza angry before, but not to the extent he was Monday night. That’s when Ouchlaeun, said, she decided to get her purse and two dogs, and leave until Mendoza cooled down.
Ouchlaeun then got into her vehicle, which was parked in the garage, and attempted to leave, police said. Mendoza’s friend told police he went to the car’s front window to ask Ouchlaeun to stay, the report said.
A witness told police Mendoza ran behind the car and had been yelling, “stop” and “no don’t” while pounding on the back window when Ouchlaeun suddenly backed the car over him, the report said. Other witnesses told detectives they believed Ouchlaeun knew Mendoza was behind her car. Detectives reported finding overlapping handprints on the back window indicating repeated pounding, the report said.
Ouchlaeun told police she did not know Mendoza was behind her car.
Police arrested Ouchlaeun in connection with her boyfriend’s death and booked her into the Clark County Detention Center, where she remains without bail. She is charged with murder with a deadly weapon.
Authorities ask anyone with information about the incident to contact Metro’s homicide section at 702-828-3521. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
Wow....when things get out of control in a domestic encounter, call the police. Sad situation.
Once violence enters into a relationship, for all intents and purposes it is over. I'm thinking this relationship was violent many moons ago. This incident was likely one of many between these two individuals. Time to move on...both parties.
Too late now. One dead and one held for murder.
She should have called it in as soon as it got out of hand. certainly should have instead of plowing into him. But, what kind of an idiot stands in the path of a moving vehicle driven by someone you know is upset with you?
This girl was attempting to get away from her crazy boyfriend & she's charged with murder??????? I got a strong feeling she'll beat this case.
Getting drink is for idiots and there are a lot of them.
Wonder what they did at the Rio?
I guess they'll have 2 job openings now.

Guess they don't do much random drug testing at the Rio.
The girl is crazy & I hope whoever read the article read it thoroughly. I know the person who died and his family. That girl ruined a beautiful family and I said that she is crazy because she ran him over without hesitation and she didn't even think of the consequences. And guys FYI the detectives charged her for murder and NO BAIL. It's not an accident it was done on purpose. Once again go back and read the article if you disagree with me.
Article states they hit each other. Big no-no. When a relationship turns violent, both parties need to go their separate ways.
Article states Mendoza was upset over her "interaction" with co-workers which implies jealousy. Another sign of a problem relationship.
The last thing you want to do when someone wants to leave and might feel threatened is get behind their car and pound on the back. That's a recipe for getting run over. If I feared for my safety, damn right I'm going to get the hell out of there. If that means you are blocking my path by standing in front or behind my car and acting violently I'm going to hit the gas.
Tragic, but seemingly another case of booze, jealousy and violence. That it ended in death isn't surprising. If she feared for her safety what choice did she have if reverse was her only option?
Btw, I don't buy for a second that she didn't know he was behind the car. I do think she likely feared for her safety. She probably violated rule #1...don't lie. Second thing she did was answer police questions when she should have asked for a lawyer before making any statement. Her story will likely change.
numero uno in deaths due to domestic violence, also recently the same for foreclosure (others have gotten worse is what mainly removes that stain) unemployment is woeful after half a decade (once too the worst but, hey, the stat can't be trusted because of the Obomb) All these ills and Oscar said only the homeless are coming!! the homeless are coming!! and people believed him, wanted to believe him so they could engage in cruelty, period!! But, hey, that's exactly why I say let this city suffer until it realizes gangsters as mayor don't work!!
She looks like she is related to the Octomom.
I wonder if she would like to sell the 2010 Toyota Venza.
Self defense. He was pounding the window and she felt threatened. That would my defense if I were her lawyer.In a panic she ran over him, maybe not by accident, but given the circumstances.
