HENDERSON (KTNV) — The man accused of killing 11-year-old Brandon Dominguez-Chavarria in a road rage shooting was back in court for a preliminary hearing on Thursday.
🔴 LIVE 🔴 Multiple witnesses are called to testify in Henderson Justice Court:
Tyler Johns, 22, is charged with murder after police say he fired into a car on the 215 beltway on Nov. 14. That shot killed Dominguez-Cavarria, who police say was being driven to school by his stepfather when the two drivers got into a heated exchange.
Body camera footage shows police arriving at the scene and taking Johns into custody:
Johns turned himself in to police at the scene, telling officers he fired the shot but didn't know a child was in the car, according to documents obtained by Channel 13.
He is being held without bond on a charge of murder, as well as charges of shooting from an occupied vehicle and shooting into an occupied vehicle. Thursday's hearing is expected to determine whether there is enough evidence to take the case to trial.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers, witnesses, and the child's stepfather were called to testify in the hearing, which lasted for several hours.
"I have this really wild allegation, and this is kind of a minor crash..."
Hear testimony from LVMPD Officer Luke Doty, who stopped when he came upon the scene of the crash:
