Las Vegas Rampage: Suspect Kills Mother and Bystander, Dies in Police Chase

Evidence suggests 36-year-old Justin Davidson, armed with stolen rifles, may have been planning a larger attack.

36-year-old Justin Davidson shot his mother, stole a police vehicle, carjacked multiple people at gunpoint, and killed a father of seven, Jerry Lopez, during a high-speed chase in Las Vegas.
Davidson was armed with two rifles, one of which was stolen from a Las Vegas gun show, and was wearing camouflage clothing and a tactical vest.
Police fired 53 rounds at the vehicle Davidson was driving, leading to his death. The police are investigating whether Davidson's parents knew about his plans for an attack.
Evidence found at Davidson's home suggests he may have been planning a larger attack, including a notebook with a diagram of a potential ambush situation, items that could be used to build firearm silencers and explosive devices, and documents outlining how law enforcement agencies respond to mass casualty incidents.
Jerry Lopez, the bystander killed by Davidson, leaves behind a wife and seven children. The family had fostered 12 children since 2017, six of whom they adopted.
