Three men were arrested this week in connection with a December shooting that wounded a driver during a street takeover on Interstate 15 near Apex, Nevada. Nevada State Police say the arrests followed search warrants executed on April 9, and investigators recovered a rifle believed to have been used in the attack. The suspects were booked into the Clark County Detention Center while detectives continue their probe.
Nevada State Police announced the arrests and outlined details of the December 6 incident, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The outlet reports that the victim suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen after a shooting that unfolded during a street takeover near I-15 and Apex.
Search Warrants, Weapon Recovery and Mutual Aid
Investigators carried out search warrants on April 9 in what state police described as a coordinated operation and recovered a rifle believed to have been used in the shooting, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. North Las Vegas SWAT and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department assisted with the searches, and troopers temporarily closed southbound I-15 near Apex for public safety while they rendered aid to the wounded driver.
Who Was Booked and What Comes Next
The three people arrested were identified as Joseph Sedillo, Andrue Molina and Stephen McNulty. All were booked at the Clark County Detention Center. It was not immediately clear whether formal charges had been filed, and authorities say the investigation remains active while evidence is developed for prosecutors.
Why This Case Matters
Street takeovers have repeatedly disrupted traffic and created dangerous conditions on valley freeways, and this case underscores the heightened risk when weapons enter the mix. Local law-enforcement officials say witness cooperation and tips are crucial for piecing together incidents that can start on the highway and spill into surrounding neighborhoods.
Nevada State Police have asked anyone with information to contact investigators and say additional details will be released as the probe moves forward. The arrests mark the latest development in an investigation that began with the December 6 shooting on I-15 near Apex.
