About this listen

 In Henderson last week, several notable incidents occurred. On Monday evening, a man identified as Jose Alvarez, age 35, carjacked a vehicle occupied by a visiting family from Colorado in the area of Galleria Drive near Henderson Hospital. The incident began as the family was loading children and a wheelchair into a Toyota SUV in a commercial parking lot, when Alvarez allegedly entered the vehicle and began reversing, hitting one of the women in the process. The woman managed to climb into the rear hatch as the vehicle was driven from the scene with her mother and three children still inside. Alvarez ignored the family's pleas to stop, resulting in a police pursuit. Officers quickly intercepted the vehicle, and the pursuit concluded after the SUV was rammed by police, rescuing the family. Alvarez was taken into custody at the scene and is now being held on multiple charges including robbery, burglary, grand larceny of a motor vehicle, kidnapping, battery with a deadly weapon, domestic battery, resisting a public officer, and coercion. The case is under prosecution, with court proceedings ongoing, and online records from the Henderson Detention Center and Henderson Justice Court indicate the investigation remains open according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

On Sunday evening, Nevada State Police responded to a serious incident on US-95/IR-11 just north of the Railroad Pass Casino in Henderson. Multiple suspects allegedly dropped or threw large rocks from a pedestrian overpass onto the interstate below. This reckless act caused significant vehicle damage and resulted in two drivers sustaining serious injuries, requiring hospitalization. In total, four vehicles suffered moderate to severe damage. By the time officers arrived, the suspects had fled the area. Police are actively seeking public assistance to identify the individuals responsible. No arrests have been made as of the latest updates, and the case remains under investigation, as reported by ABC News and Nevada State Police. Anyone with information about this incident or the suspects involved is urged to contact local authorities.

No additional notable criminal activity has been reported in Henderson for the prior week based on publicly available information. Authorities note a concerning pattern of violent acts targeting both individuals and motorists, including the use of vehicles as weapons and intentional harm to passing vehicles from overpasses. Listeners are reminded to report suspicious behavior, particularly near pedestrian bridges or public parking facilities.

If you have information regarding these or other incidents, contact the Henderson Police Department non-emergency line or Crime Stoppers for anonymous tips.
