Although most of it isn't available online. I suspect there's no news stories on it because A) Vegas news doesn't actually do "news," because that would require effort; they mostly just recap press releases and human interest stories, and B) because no one gives a shit about homeless people anyway.
So, to recap what I know and what is alleged:
There are two suspects, an older homeless guy who was previously thrown out of the camp. I don't know his name.
A younger guy (22) named Daniel White paid the older guy to distract the people in the encampment.
Daniel White allegedly conceived and built the bomb, or at least that's the accusation.
You can look him up by googling "CCDC inmate search" and typing in his name; he's not in Blackstone yet.
His case number is 15F10912X
His inmate number is 02863368
He is being held on 100,000 dollar bail.
The charges are: Using Explosives to damage/destroy property, people inside
And
Battery with use of a deadly weapon
His next hearing is the prelim, Justice Court (the last stop before trial District Court) on August 6th. I'd go just out of curiosity, but I think I have a class that day.
Daniel placed the pipe bomb in a tent, which caused severe facial disfigurement to one victim and cost another person his arm.
It happened in a vacant lot somewhere around 4750 Nellis, between Cheyenne and Nellis
He is alleged to have said that he "was sick of looking at all those homeless people."
There's a small chance the Feds will pick it up because it was a bombing, but since it was a homeless guy's tent and not an actual building, probably not.
I hope that was helpful; I'm not sure if I know anything beyond this, but the evidence should be clearly laid out at the upcoming preliminary hearing.
