LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Two men who went on a crime spree across the valley, which left a tourist dead, have agreed to plead guilty to multiple charges.
On New Year's Eve 2021, Jesani Carter and Jordan Ruby began their spree at the parking garage at Fashion Show Mall. They approached 66-year-old Clarice Yamaguchi, who was visiting from Hawaii.
When she refused to give them her purse, they shot and killed her.
