LAS VEGAS, NV (September 20, 2023) – Wednesday afternoon, Knowledge Schuster was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Cheyenne Avenue.

Police responded to the scene around 4:20 p.m., near Interstate 15 on September 5th shortly after receiving multiple dispatch calls in the area.

Officers say the driver of a silver SUV ran a red light at the intersection while trying to make a left turn onto the freeway. There, the SUV struck a vehicle occupied by 1-year-old Schuster.
