HENDERSON, Nev. (KLAS) -- A 2-year-old girl drowned after getting into a pool unattended, and now her mother is suing, saying her death could have been prevented if a door and a pool gate had been fixed.

Nevaeh Board was staying at her father’s home, which he rented, when she drowned in the pool on January 31, 2020, a lawsuit filed in district court said.

“The last thing I said to my daughter was, and I had her repeat it, 'I am beautiful the way I am.’” Nevaeh’s mother, Anjelica Jones, told the I-Team.

Jones had dropped her daughter off at her father’s house and said goodbye, just like any other time the toddler was in his care.

“I didn't get to really hug her the way I wanted to,” Jones lamented. “She gave me a quick hug and ran off with her dad.”

According to the lawsuit, Nevaeh went down for a nap at 11 a.m. Less than an hour later at 11:40, a family member noticed the back door was open... Read More

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- Francine McHugh has been a resident of Sunrise Gardens senior living near Valley View and Sahara for three years. This past Saturday, she almost lost her life when a white pick-up truck rammed into her apartment.

"I was sitting at the table, per usual. What made me move, I do not know," McHugh shared. "By the time I reached the doorknob, the big boom went, and everything came at me."

Before the incident, the driver of the truck allegedly hit a man that was crossing the street. Metro describes it as an attempted homicide. The driver then sped off, landing right into McHugh’s living room.

"I've never seen so much glass in my life, and it was so scary,” she recounted. “I was trapped, and I could not get out. I couldn't move, and I don't walk.”

Luckily, McHugh made it to the door and squeezed herself out. Her neighbor, Nancy Vasquez, recalls hearing a loud noise, followed by screaming... Read More

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- Valley businesses have tough decisions to make about mask requirements and proof of COVID-19 vaccinations.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently announced that fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks in most settings. Following that guidance, many businesses across Las Vegas are tossing mask requirements out the window.

But a big question remains whether they can ask customers for proof of vaccination.

"Most people are not wearing masks when they come in," said JJ Wylie, co-owner of Grouchy John's Coffee.

The coffee shop just made masks optional for customers. Wylie says this is because some patrons were picking fights with employees over the weekend, and they want to avoid any future arguments.

"We can't feasibly ask every customer what their vaccination status is, so it's kind of an honor system that we're relying on," he explained... Read More
