Las Vegas Strip Crash Driver in Town Modeling

Lakeisha Holloway is an Oregon resident who just started a clothing line. It's unclear if she was in Vegas modeling her clothes, or just picking up modeling work.

How does a homeless person have the resources to start a clothing line? Does TMZ even have the right person?

I'm trying to understand how an Oregon judge could approve a name change for a Washington resident. That's just not how it's done. You apply to the court in the state where you reside. If she lived in Vancouver, WA at the time, she would've had to petition the courts in Vancouver to change her name.

I'm hoping this is just some bad journalism at play.

Possibly. There is/was a black model named Paris Morton.

Apparently a Canadian rapper called Drake wrote a couple of songs about her. Perhaps TMZ got this Paris Paradise Morton confused with the original?

Holloway's cousin, LaShay Hardaway, said Holloway's alleged involvement in the deadly incident was "shocking."

"It's not characteristic of Lakeisha. We think we have some understanding of what happened, but the place that were at right now, we can't say," Hardaway told NBC News.

"She's not even confrontational," Hardaway added. "She's a loving mother … She's such a beautiful person. She's very successful."

Hardaway also expressed empathy for the victims. "Our family is hurting, the victims are hurting. We send our condolences and extend our hand to any prayer, any comfort we can give," she said.

Two students received CARE Role Model awards and both were given standing ovations by a crowd that clearly appreciated how hard they had worked to surmount their challenges.

Lakeisha Holloway described being homeless during her freshman year in high school and explained that her mother had lost hope after struggling many years to earn a living with only an 8th Grade education. More and more she had turned to alcohol, leaving Lakeisha to fend for herself. Yet with the help of POIC, Holloway is a graduate pursuing a career in the forest service.

"I would like to thank the Forest Service for sending me an application and taking a chance on me," she said. "And I'd like to thank POIC for the love and support and for being more than a program, for being a blessing."

So, allegedly the suspect fell apart because of a disagreement with her boyfriend and people from everywhere had to suffer because of that?

"Lombardo said police did not have a definitive motive, but they believe she had a falling out with the father of her child before the crash. A drug recognition expert on the scene determined Holloway was under the influence of a "stimulant," but blood test results were pending."

"Victims hailed from Quebec, Oregon, Florida, Colorado, California, Washington and Mexico.

Five were Canadian citizens and four were Oregon college students in town to compete in a wrestling tournament."

 

[Bravo]

Wowsers. Now I am even more confused :thinking:

Speculation, imo
Wondering if by any chance the suspect's b.f. was a wrestler?

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/driver-deliberately-plows-people-vegas-strip-dies-35886748

"Police: Driver in Vegas Crash Was Seeking Estranged Partner"

" Other victims were from Oregon, Florida, Colorado, California, Washington, Mexico, and Quebec, Canada. Five were Canadian citizens, and four were Oregon college students in town to compete in a wrestling tournament.

Among the injured were five wrestlers and their coach from Delaware Valley University in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Another four were wresters from Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon."

This is just awful.

I wonder if she pursued the forest service. That's a great career--my daddy worked for them for over 35 years.

This entire story is just horrific.

If she did, something happened and she ended up being homeless.

Excuse me while I ramble for a minute. I pick up stupid things like this, but I don't think it's a coincidence.

So, back in Oct, La'Keisha petitioned to get her name changed to PARIS PARADISE MORTON. Right?

Okay, so...The "PARIS" is obvious..that's the first place where she decided to murder people...She then proceeded to drive about a mile down E. Flamingo road and was arrested just before the intersection of E. Flamingo and PARADISE.

Almost across the street (on the other corner), there is a restaurant there. Guess what it's called? MORTON's Steakhouse.

Beeee-zarre, I tell ya.

Holy chit :thinking:

here is a really good piece it shows her "trail" great writing IMO too !

[video=youtube;_ud9sPzyuys]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ud9sPzyuys[/video]

it was quite a drive

I am behind may have been posted but she tried to sleep earlier in the day in a parking lot a kept getting kicked out. She then told police she did not want to be on the road she was on. She denied subastances to the cops. .........

 

[Bravo]

Good eve CARIIS. Thanks for the visual. My brain likes a visual. It truly was a long drive.

I'm the same way. She drove much farther than I first envisioned.

That's right! Part of Las Vegas is Paradise... When we were just there my phone would tell me in the morning, "it's 60 degrees and sunny in Paradise," and I thought that so perfect for my honeymoon.

This story is so insane. Creepy find, Dex.

Oops not Dex, sorry, your avatar....

 

[CARIIS]

Is this motor vehicle the new weapon of mass destruction ?
Just goes to show that if someone is determined to kill, they will find a weapon .
We live in a scary world, friends.

This is like Toronto it takes a bit of time to marinate before the enormity of it sinks in. I am visual - that peice I just posted makes it more horrific....

 

[CARIIS]

Boy, they were quick to jump out with 'this is not a terrorist attack'. If you intentionally drive up on a crowded side walk and run over people, is that not a attack to terrorize people?

hummm that is an valid suggestion isnt it?

 

[flourish]

That video was very visual and helpful with seeing the distance and all the chances she had to veer back into the street.

That video shows a video clip of her discussing the forest service job and the educational program she was involved in. It appears she did pursue the job as the video shows her saying something to the effect of, "I got a federal job at age 21, now that's what I call the big time" don't quote me, but interesting to see her talking and looking like a regular human knowing the monstrous act she's perpetrated. And yeah she had to turn a corner to get to where she turned herself in, which makes that place seem deliberate, too, imo.
