The tv news story is at this link, too. If you watch the news video ...

you first have to watch an advertisement for an upcoming Las Vegas gun show before you get to see the news video.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Details continue to emerge following the fatal shooting and car explosion on the Las Vegas Strip Thursday morning.

A cab burst into flames, killing both people inside. It's the dramatic end to a violent shooting on the Las Vegas Strip.

Las Vegas police said the occupants of a black Range Rover opened fire on two people in a Maserati, killing the driver and causing the car to speed through a red light at Flamingo and collided with the cab.

The attorney of Kenneth Cherry Jr., also known as Kenny Clutch the rapper, confirmed to Action News, Clutch was the driver of the Maserati and was killed in the shooting.

In one of his music videos, Clutch is seen in what's believed to be the Maserati from the crime scene.


edit to add: here is Kenny Clutch's video featuring his pride and joy, his Maserati

And this is a perfect example of why I'll stick with rock bands: the worst things you're expected to do are slam dance and worship Satan.

Nothing like a post mortem career.

I guess I could look it up to see, but one was shot as revenge for the other if I remember correctly. Las Vegas seems to be the place to shoot rappers.

not far from where I used to live. Nice area. They had been at a party at the Petersen Car Museum, as I recall.

Roughly the same area of LA destroyed in the movie "Volcano".

Today thousands were killed by murders, rich and poor; all races and ethnicities. Why should we pay attention to this guy.

I also respect calling an obvious troll a troll. Too bad about my transparency page, which went to hell right after Newtown, but those are the breaks. Anyhow, thanks for effectively shutting down this gun nut bleating about his Jesus-given shootin' rights.

Drive around Vegas in a Mazerati and a gun... Don't even think of raising his taxes. He works so hard for his money.
