LAS VEGAS - The family of a man who died on the Summerlin Parkway ramp last week is vowing to face the man accused of killing him.

Thirty-eight-year-old Kadar Lee Brown of Las Vegas was changing a tire on the side of the road March 17, when Nevada Highway Patrol says an intoxicated driver hit him.

Nevada Highway Patrol arrested 22-year-old Gary Richard Adair, Jr. for DUI - drugs with death, failure to drive in a travel lane, expired license plates, altered plates and no proof of insurance.

The crash happened at approximately 5:30 p.m. on the U.S. 95 southbound ramp to Summerlin Parkway.

Brown's family is now raising money to pay for his funeral.

Close friends said Brown lived for driving and fixing his Ford Mustang, spending time with his beloved dogs and helping his loved ones.

LAS VEGAS -- A man who was arrested Feb. 27 after a long standoff with Metro Police at a northwest valley home was indicted by a Clark County grand jury on a long list of charges, including sexual assault, home invasion, attempted murder and burglary.

Bail was set for Sean Paul Cordeiro at $750,000. According to prosecutors, Cordeiro broke into a home, near Lake Mead Boulevard and Buffalo Drive, and held a woman and her three children hostage. They also say he assaulted the woman and threatened the children.

The woman and children were able to get out of the house with the help Metro SWAT. Police eventually broke into the house and found Cordeiro hiding in the laundry room.

He remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center and is scheduled to appear in court March 27.

Plans are in place to build a new baseball field in Summerlin for the Las Vegas 51s, but getting public dollars from Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman may not get very far. 

Lobbying Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman for public dollars to build a new 51s ballpark next to the Red Rock Resort in Summerlin will likely be a strikeout.
