LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police say a suspect fatally shot last week during a traffic stop had asked to be shot before pulling a rifle out of his car.
The Las Vegas Police Department that the suspect told Sgt. Timothy Stovall that he had been having family issues and wanted to be shot.
The suspect was identified as 38-year-old Jesus Caballero-Herrera. Stovall reported a reckless driver on Interstate 15 and pulled the vehicle over.
The two spoke for about six minutes before Caballero-Herrera pointed his rifle at Stovall, who opened fire on the suspect.
