LAS VEGAS, Nevada (May 21, 2013) – Jacob Dismont, 18, and Michael Solid, 21, are facing charges of open murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery after they allegedly stole a teenager’s iPad and subsequently ran over him with their vehicle as the boy clung to the computer device.

The Apple iPad was a recent birthday present to Marcos Arenas, 15, whose family is now coping with the tremendous loss of their son. Dismont, a former star baseball player at Sierra Vista High School, was the suspect who physically took the iPad from Arenas and Solid was driving the getaway vehicle that drove off as the boy clung to his iPad.  The two suspects fled the scene and were later caught by police and arrested.

“It’s so sad that one innocent teen boy was killed over a senseless robbery,” said West Seegmiller, founder of The Seegmiller Law Firm. “The theft of Apple iPads and other Apple devices has become so widespread these days that police are referring to the robberies as “Apple picking.”

PALM SPRINGS, California (May 20, 2013) – Police are searching for the hit-and-run driver whose pickup truck struck and killed motorcyclist Eric Strzelczyk, 29, of Bermuda Dunes at the intersection of East Palm Canyon and Camino Real Palm Springs, according to a press release issued by the Riverside County Sheriff Coroner Department.

About 4:30 a.m., police say the driver of a white Ford F-9 pickup truck was driving westbound on East Palm Canyon Drive prior to the crash. He hit Strzelczyk as he attempted to make a left-hand turn in front of the motorcycle rider who was traveling eastbound on El Palm Canyon, according to a report by MyDesert.com.  The pickup truck driver fled the scene of the crash on foot without rendering aid to the motorcyclist as required under California law.

“The hit-and-run driver is now a felon and will face criminal charges when police find him,” said Attorney West Seegmiller. “My condolences go out to the family of this young man who not only face the loss of their relative, but will not be able to find justice for his death until the suspect is caught.”

According to the news article in MyDesert.com, the motorcyclist was a former U.S. Air Force sergeant and an F-16 mechanic who grew up in Indio and graduated from Indio High School.

Palm Springs Police Department is investigating the fatal hit-and-run motorcycle accident. The suspect was wearing a red hat, white T-shirt and jeans at the time of the crash.

Victims of hit-and-run crashes who are injured or those who have lost a loved one in such an accident may obtain compensation if they are covered by uninsured motorist protection on their insurance policy.  A wrongful death action can be filed on behalf of the victim’s relatives by a personal injury attorney.

SAN DIEGO, California (May 18, 2013) – According to an article in 8NewsNow.com, police are investigating a hit-and-run crash that occurred in the Midway District of San Diego and left a pedestrian with critical injuries. At about 8:15 p.m. Friday a driver struck a pedestrian that was crossing at Midway Drive and Rosecrans Street. The pedestrian was a man in his forties and was walking along the 2700 block of Midway when he was struck by 2004 Honda that was headed northbound. A man in his 30’s was driving the Honda and after hitting the pedestrian he fled in his vehicle. Police were able to apprehend him in his home later that evening.

The pedestrian sustained serious injuries to a finger and one of his legs.

“Hit-and-runs are just so tragic because someone is completely evading responsibility for causing someone so much pain and suffering. It’s always a relief when a hit-and-run driver is caught,” states West Seegmiller, owner and founder of The Seegmiller Law Firm.

Friday, May 17th, 2013

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (May 17, 2013) – Police are searching for a murder suspect who stole an Apple iPad from a teenage boy on Thursday afternoon and then got into a car and drove over the victim as he fled the scene of the crime at the intersection of Charleston Boulevard and Scholl Drive, according to a report by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

About 4:12 p.m., police say the teenage boy was walking on Charleston Boulevard carrying his iPad when he was approached by a white male adult who had just exited a white Ford Explorer or Expedition.

The man stole the iPad away from the teenager, but the boy would not let go of it. The man proceeded to get into the passenger side of the vehicle and the driver began to drive off with the teenager dragging behind the car.  As the car sped away, the teenager eventually fell off the vehicle and the driver ran over him critically injuring him.

Paramedics transported the teenager to the University Medical Center’s trauma center where he later died of his injuries.

Police say the suspect who stole the iPad was a white male adult with short blond hair, slicked back and shaved on the sides. He had a neatly trimmed beard about ¼ to ½ inches long running down his face from sideburn to sideburn. He is described as in his late 20s about 6 feet tall and 180 to 200 pounds. The suspect was wearing a white tank top and blue jeans at the time of the hit-and-run murder. See photos here.

The driver of the getaway car is described as a black male in his 20s with a medium build and a “fade” haircut, “tattoo sleeves” on both arms. He was wearing a black shirt and possibly a long chain necklace with a pendant around his neck.

The Clark County Coroner’s Office has not yet released the name of the victim.

Witnesses or anyone with information about the crime or suspect can contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Section at 828-3521.
