Las Vegas suspect arrested in Los Angeles

One week after an all-too-real scene befitting a movie played out on the famed Las Vegas Strip -a pre-dawn shooting that sparked a deadly, fiery crash -the man authorities suspect started it all is finally under arrest, according to CNN.

Ammar Asim Faruq Harris, 26, was apprehended around noon (3 p.m. ET) on Thursday in North Hollywood, California, said FBI spokeswoman Lourdes Arocho.

This all went down 275 miles southwest from where, authorities say, Harris was at the wheel of a black Range Rover around 4:15 a.m. last Thursday when he pulled up to a Maserati and yelled at its driver, Kenneth Cherry, an aspiring rapper known as Kenny Clutch, a witness said, according to the arrest warrant. The Maserati's driver opened his window and the two then had a "very brief exchange" before the light turned green and they headed off.

A few minutes later, the Range Rover's driver opened fire -- in two separate bursts -- at the Maserati, which was heading north on Las Vegas Boulevard, authorities said.

The sequence ended with Cherry shot in the chest and arm. His vehicle collided with a taxi, which caught fire.
