Gunfire Leads to Fatal Crash That Killed Daish Sherre, Injured One in Las Vegas, Police Say
Just after midnight, dispatchers received a frantic call from a man who reported being chased and shot at by another vehicle near Lindell and Robindale roads. When officers arrived, they discovered two crashed vehicles and a woman lying in the street who appeared to have been ejected from one of the cars.
The woman, later identified as Daish Sherre, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said several individuals from both vehicles fled before officers arrived.
A man believed to have been traveling with Sherre was found nearby suffering from injuries caused by the crash. He was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives determined that Sherre and the male victim were driving home when a vehicle began following them. Someone inside the pursuing car opened fire, causing Sherre’s vehicle to speed away and lose control, leading to the fatal crash. The second vehicle then collided with Sherre’s car, but its occupants fled and remain at large.
