A 19-year-old man in Las Vegas is facing charges for a “dangerous” crime spree across multiple jurisdictions last week that included car thefts, high-speed pursuits and the murder of a former Nevada senator’s son — “just hours” after the suspect asked a woman if she “wanted to die,” cops say.
Aerion Warmsley, of North Las Vegas, faces charges of open murder with a deadly weapon and robbery with a deadly weapon for the shooting death of Na’onche Osborne — the 23-year-old son of former Democratic state Sen. Pat Spearman — last Thursday at the Aliante Casino and Hotel. The North Las Vegas Police Department released details about Warmsley’s alleged crime spree during a video briefing on Saturday night that was broadcast by local CBS affiliate KLAS. He is expected to face additional charges.
