He's accused of mortally wounding an aspiring rapper behind the wheel of a Maserati before the sports car slammed into a taxi that burst into flames.

The Maserati driver, taxi driver and a tourist from Washington state were killed.

Police say the shooting followed an exchange of words at a casino valet stand following a hip-hop concert at a nightclub at the Aria resort.
