A Las Vegas shooting case saw a significant development as Cristobal Omar Perez admitted guilt to two first-degree murder charges.

Appearing before the court a day before his trial, Perez accepted a plea deal, paving the way for a possible 40-years-to-life sentence. The deadly shooting, targeting homeless individuals, occurred on December 1, 2023, near a freeway overpass.
