The Clark County School District announced the death of a student at Smith Middle School in North Las Vegas on Monday.

The announcement comes three days after a 12-year-old boy was struck while walking to the middle school in a suspected hit-and-run DUI crash.

In a statement, CCSD Superintendent Jhone Ebert said the district was “deeply saddened by the tragic loss” of the student. The district is offering support services to students and staff impacted by the incident, including counselors who will be on-site at the middle school, according to the statement.

The district’s statement did not name the student or directly connect it with the Friday crash, but added: “As a community, we need to come together and send the message that we will not tolerate impaired driving.”
