A road rage confrontation on the Las Vegas Strip turned deadly on the afternoon of November 25, 2024. Uber driver Michael Wilmot, 50, stopped his gray Jeep Cherokee in front of the Palazzo after a quarter-mile dispute with a silver Subaru WRX. Witnesses say Wilmot left his two passengers in the Jeep, approached the Subaru and banged on the driver’s side window. The Subaru’s driver, a 24-year-old woman, then fired a gun; Wilmot was struck in the neck, attempted to draw his own weapon but collapsed and died at the scene.

Earlier that afternoon, at about 3:40 p.m., a taxi driver had reported a reckless driver in a vehicle matching the Subaru’s description near the Bellagio. After the shooting the female driver fled, but security at the Venetian-Palazzo provided the Subaru’s license plate, leading police to a residence near Washington Avenue and Torrey Pines Drive where she was taken into custody. She was later released while the Clark County District Attorney’s Office reviews whether the shooting was self-defense. The investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation on the Strip or has dashcam or surveillance footage, please come forward with information for investigators.
