LAS VEGAS (AP) — A death-penalty trial has been rescheduled for a self-described pimp accused of killing three people in a Las Vegas Strip shooting and fiery crash more than two years ago.
Trial had been due to start next week for 29-year-old Ammar Harris on murder, attempted murder and weapon charges.
Records show that Clark County District Court Judge Kathleen Delaney rescheduled trial for Oct. 12.
Harris is accused of killing an aspiring rapper behind the wheel of a Maserati that crashed into a taxi, which then burst into flames, killing a driver and a tourist from Washington state.
Harris is already serving 16 years to life in Nevada state prison on separate rape and robbery convictions, plus up to five more years for bribing a prison guard to obtain cellphones.
