LAS VEGAS -- Police announced Saturday that they have identified an SUV and a suspect in the shooting death of an Oakland rapper on the Las Vegas Strip, which led to a fatal car crash involving a Maserati and taxi.

Las Vegas police said a black Range Rover SUV was found Saturday afternoon at an apartment complex east of the Strip and has since been impounded as evidence.

Police are looking for 26-year-old Ammar Harris, who they believed fired the shots in the incident early Thursday. Harris' arrest history in Las Vegas, which is extensive and violent, according to police, includes charges of kidnapping and pandering.

Harris is described as a black male adult, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 180 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Harris also goes by the name of Ammar Asim Faruq Harris, as well as variations of that name, police said.

He is considered armed and dangerous. He has several distinctive tattoos, including a heart-shaped tattoo below his right eye and a large owl tattoo on his neck.

The driver of the Maserati, aspiring rapper and former Oakland resident Kenneth Cherry, Jr., a.k.a. Kenny Clutch, was killed by the gunfire.

So much here. One the dead guy was not a "rapper" he made his money being a pimp. Two Mr. Harris is probably not a member of the NRA, Tea Party, probably was not a Boy Scout. Three if the suspect was a white Christian fundamentalist the media would have made note. Wonder what religion Ammar Asim Faruq Harris might be affiliated with?

Sounds to me like he should've been in prison instead of driving around Las Vegas murdering people.

Probably a prison convert to NOI. Doubt he's ever seen the inside of a mosque.

Residents must be grateful that the SUV has been clearly identified ... they must have been cringing in fear at each one that passed, expecting it to shoot!

Lets see how many times Mr. Harris has been previously allowed to walk after committing a crime with a gun having received a light sentence.

Its past time for one-strike/throw-away-the-key on gun-wielding thugs. But I suppose it would disproportionately affect a certain minority group. So we’re going to remain at the mercy of political correctness.

Political correctness is a ruthless killer if you ax me.

“He is considered armed and dangerous.”

And stupid. Life-endingly stupid.

As soon as I heard the circumstances (high-end car, vehicle-to-vehicle shooting), I asked myself “what demographic is most likely to behave in this manner?” And I took a blind guess.

I was not disappointed.

“Aspiring rapper” = the new “He was just getting his life together.”

>Harris is described as a black male adult...a heart-shaped tattoo below his right eye and a large owl tattoo on his neck.

A member of the protected class of “Sons of Obama” gang.

If Obama had a son, he would be just like Harris.

Who around here knows how to translate gang tattoos? The heart seems particularly suspicious.

My question was answered, thanks. And your quote refers to the shooter.

Guns don't kill people, violent criminals, repeatedly not incarcerated despite multiple opportunities to do so, kill people.

MSM doesn't know the difference I guess. I can't say one is better than the other, just different.
