On Monday, Las Vegas police released footage-body camera- of two men weaving through traffic in an SUV and shooting at officers during a pursuit near downtown that left one of the men deceased and the other injured.

The footage from Wednesday morning shows officer William Umana following the 22-year-old Fidel Miranda, and the 30-year-old Rene Nunez, yelling "shots fired, shots fired" into his radio. When some other police car joined the chase, Umana informed the officer to stay back. The second officer's car was hit by bullets at least twice, and the officer could not finish the chase, Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Sheriff Tim Kelly said at a briefing Monday.

As the chase was close its extremity, Umana, 43, pulled his car closer to the SUV and discharged 11 shots.

Nunez way out the car as it was still moving near Hollingsworth Elementary School, 1776 E. Ogden Avenue and ran up steps outside of the school and attempted to enter, but the door was locked, Kelly said.

Kelly said Miranda moved to the driver's seat and attempted to back up toward Umana. Umana left his car and continued to fire while plainclothes officer Paul Solomon, 46, approached the passenger-side door.

Solomon fired his shotgun once and hit Miranda. The SUV came to halt at the north wall of the school, and Miranda was handcuffed while medical was called, Kelly said. Miranda was pronounced dead at the scene.

Nunez was arrested who had gunshot wounds from the pursuit earlier that morning.

Miranda and Nunez are suspects in the death of 25-year-old Thomas Romero, who was shot multiple times in the chest Wednesday at a car wash at 1402 N. Eastern Avenue, police said. Romero died that morning at University Medical Center.

Then the SUV sped off. Miranda and Nunez raced through oncoming traffic — along Mojave Road, Eastern Avenue, and Charleston Boulevard — while firing at police, Kelly said.

One civilian's car was struck by gunfire, Kelly said.

"The officer could have backed off, but he didn't," he said, referring to Umana.

On May 20, Nunez is accused of stealing the SUV in North Las Vegas, Kelly said, and one of the guns Nunez used during the chase had been reported stolen May 20.

Multiple pleadings will be faced by Nunez of slaying with a fatal arm and attempted murder with a deadly weapon. He persisted in the Clark County Detention Center on Monday without a bail bond.
