LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police say an 18-year-old man arrested in a home-invasion robbery in which a woman was killed left his high school homework in the getaway car.

A newly released police report said math homework bearing Kamari Oliver's name was found in a backpack in the vehicle after the victim's boyfriend saw robbers leaving the home and rammed their vehicle with his own on March 25.

Oliver's lawyer, Dan Winder, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the allegations.
