LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The driver who is accused of causing a 12-car crash Tuesday afternoon that left two people dead and multiple injured is now officially booked on murder charges.
Jose Gutierrez was re-booked on Thursday on two counts of open murder, one count of attempted murder, and one count of battery with a deadly weapon.
The 19-year-old was initially booked in absentia on four counts of reckless driving in connection to the incident.
We've recently learned this is not the first time Gutierrez was involved in a serious crash. Sources in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told Channel 13 he was in a crash with an elderly woman in September of this year after reportedly running a stop sign.
