Surveillance footage reveals tragic hit-and-run of 12-year-old boy near Rancho High School

Описание: Surveillance video obtained by News 3 shows the moment a 12-year-old boy crosses the street and is hit by a car on October 3.

The Clark County School District provided the video following a public records request. The 30 second clip is from a surveillance camera on the backside of Rancho High School that faces Owens Ave.

The footage shows the Owens Avenue and 21st Street intersection where Cristofer Suarez,12, crossed the street in active school zone around 7:40 a.m. on October 3 and was hit by a car that appeared to be speeding. Suarez later died from his injuries. The video stops before the moment of impact.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said Suarez was in an implied crosswalk when the SUV hit him, knocking him into the fence of a church. The area where he crossed does not have any crossing lines.

Another car heading north on Owens is seen on camera pulling up to the intersection and stopping to oncoming traffic on Owens. Suarez is seen walking behind the vehicle on the sidewalk and entering the street before the crash.
