LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — “I do many of these throughout the year and most of them, a high 90 percent or better, is to advocate motorcycle safety and awareness,” said Billy Sauceda.

Sauceda led the prayer at the vigil for 12-year-old Monet Garcia and her father Mark Tuesday night.

Mark and Monet Garcia were killed in a crash Sept. 13, 2019.

“I know the pain that they’re feeling when they look at her potential,” Sauceda said. “She knew four languages. This is a kid that had ambition.”

The Garcias were killed Friday night when a motorcyclist crashed into their car while they were driving at the intersection of Flamingo and Duneville. The impact was so forceful that the car flipped over before catching fire.

Sauceda is a pastor and a member of the Armor of God Motorcycle Club.

“It hurt me that there was a motorcycle rider involved,” he said. “It hurt me more that innocent lives were taken.”... Read More

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Las Vegas has one of the hottest real estate markets in the nation. Supply for properties in the area is low, but the demand is high. But the challenge potential buyers have to deal with is nothing compared to what the valley’s special needs community has to face.

Unlike the able-bodied, many of the valley’s disabled cannot simply move into any home or apartment. But a new project called Betty’s Village hopes to fill some of that void.

Bob Brown, the CEO of Opportunity Village, said for years, the non-profit has wanted to turn a deserted area in the southwest into homes for people with special needs.

“There are still a lot of people that have intellectual disabilities that are still locked away,” Brown said.

But, after navigating the labyrinth of government regulation, Opportunity Village is now ready to put its plan into action... Read More
