LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A third victim has died from the 12-car crash on Cheyenne Avenue and Jones Boulevard last month, according to the Clark County Coroner's Office.
The latest from Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025
Officials identified the third victim as 25-year-old Vanessa Lainez Vasquez, who suffered life-threatening injuries from the crash.
Lainez was a team member at Shang Artisan Noodle with coworkers describing her as "kind and hardworking." They say she was married just nine months ago.
PREVIOUS REPORT | What we know about the third victim; no bail for suspect
The suspect in the crash, 19-year-old Jose Gutierrez, faces 10 felony charges, including open murder, after officials say he intentionally sped nearly 100 mph into a line of cars at Cheyenne and Jones on Nov. 18.
The crash initially killed 38-year-old Edward Garcia and 20-year-old Adilene Duran-Rincon, Gutierrez's girlfriend and passenger. Duran-Rincon was pregnant, according to her family.
Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Joe Bonaventure denied Gutierrez bail last week. A criminal complaint alleges that Gutierrez was attempting to kill his girlfriend. Gutierrez's defense attorney argued he was suffering a concussion and seizures.
Channel 13 is working to confirm if Gutierrez will face additional charges with news of Lainez's death.
Gutierrez is due back in court on Dec. 9.
