LOS ANGELES (AP) ? A man accused of firing gunshots that left a man dead and led to a deadly, fiery crash on the Las Vegas Strip faces extradition from California to Nevada.
Ammar Harris was expected to appear in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday.
The 26-year-old self-described pimp was arrested in Los Angeles last Thursday, ending a weeklong manhunt that began after the Feb. 21 shooting and crash that killed three people and injured five others.
Authorities allege Harris was driving his black Range Rover SUV when he fired at least five shots into a Maserati sports car, killing Kenneth Wayne Cherry Jr., a rapper who called himself Kenny Clutch.
Police say the two men had argued minutes earlier in a casino valet area.
After Cherry was struck, the Maserati careened into a taxi that exploded in a spectacular fireball at Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, one of the most famous neon-lit crossroads in Las Vegas.
The cab driver and his passenger were killed.
A passenger in the Maserati was shot in the arm, and four people in four other vehicles were hurt, none seriously, in the chain-reaction crashes. Three women were in the SUV with Harris.
The crash closed the Strip for about 15 hours while police investigated.
Two days later, police located the SUV parked at an apartment complex near the crash scene, triggering the multi-state search for Harris.
Armed with an arrest warrant for three murder counts, law officers arrested Harris at an apartment in Los Angeles' Studio City area, hours after police found the last of the women who were with him in the SUV.
Harris is a convicted felon in South Carolina who shows fists full of money on Internet posts and boasts of a high-rolling lifestyle with prostitutes in Miami and Las Vegas.
