Back to EpisodesA Grocery Store Shooting Stuns the City, a Gas Tax Holiday for No One, and Vegas Spends $25K on Influencers
Description
The suburban southeast of Las Vegas was stunned early this week after a gunman shot and killed his ex-wife and her husband at an area grocery store before being subdued by bystanders. Nevada Current reporter Michael “MJ” Lyle and Executive Producer Layla Muhammad join host Jesse Merrick to discuss not only why the shooting broke through the news cycle, but whether or not it could spur action for domestic violence survivors in the Las Vegas Valley. Plus, the team breaks down why a potential gas tax holiday won’t be all it’s cracked up to be, and a Gen Z internship opportunity trying to put Las Vegas directly onto your For You Page. And in this week’s members-only bonus segment, we break down the long-awaited return of Lotus of Siam’s original location (and add some of our favorite local Thai food recommendations, too).
