The woman charged with murder after intentionally plowing into pedestrians on the sidewalk of the Las Vegas Strip, killing one and injuring 37, was homeless and living in her car with her three-year-old daughter, police said. 

Lakeisha N. Holloway, 24, of Portland, has been identified as the driver, who had a toddler in the back seat when she allegedly hit pedestrians on two different sections of the sidewalk while heading north on Las Vegas Boulevard near Bellagio Way on Sunday night.

At a press conference at 10am PST on Monday, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said initial charges include murder with use of a deadly weapon as well as multiple counts of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, child abuse or neglect and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.
