On Friday afternoon, an elderly lady was reported missing and died a few hours later.
According to Las Vegas police, 77 year old Marie Perez was reported missing on Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. and people were concerned as she had no money or food and there was no way of contacting her as she had no cell phone. Red Rock Search and Rescue handed out flyers which stated that she may need medical assistance and could be emotionally distressed. They began the search but it was called off on Sunday at noon when she was discovered at UMC.
It appears that she was crossing Craig Road near Nellis Boulevard at around 7.15 p.m. when, according to witnesses, she was not in a crosswalk and she took no notice of the ‘no walk’ signal. She was then hit by a 2001 Chrysler, driven by 56 year old Glenn Muramoto of Las Vegas, and taken to the UMC Trauma Unit where death was pronounced.
Neither Muramoto nor his passenger was injured.
The accident, the 69th fatality in the Metro Jurisdiction this year, is being investigated by the Police Accident Investigation Section.
