Within the past hour, the Web site Heavy reported the name of suspect in the crash:
"A 24-year-old Portland woman has been arrested in Las Vegas following a devastating mass hit-and-run. Lakeisha Holloway is accused of ploughing into a group of revelers along the city's infamous strip on the night of December 20."
Those who suspected the suspect was a minority were correct. Follow the link for a photo gallery.
If this story is right (which I think it is), the media is continuing a pattern which really came to a head with the San Bernadino shootings when the President told the FBI to "downplay" the terrorism angle. When you have this type of directive coming from the top, he doesn't have to tell the mainstream media to downplay anything when a suspect is a minority. They know to do it already, which I think is what's happening here.
Addendum: Oregon Live reported the same thing -- as has the New York Daily News. Since it's multiple sources now, I'll post her pic.
