LAS VEGAS -- A southern Nevada family torn apart by a tragedy is speaking out in hopes of sparing another family's suffering.

Nov. 25, 2011 was the day that changed the Billing family forever. Their 16-year-old daughter, Aleasha, was hit by a car while walking at the intersection of Lone Mountain Road and El Capitan Way.

Her parents believe the lack of lighting at the intersection contributed to Aleasha's death. A memorial for teen girl is about the only thing visible near the intersection. The darkness is a daily reminder to Mike and Carrie Billing about what happened to their daughter.

"This intersection, yes it is extremely dark. It is extremely busy. It is the only intersection without a street light," said Carrie Billing.

LAS VEGAS -- Rezoning is now a reality for 17 schools in the Clark County School District.

It is a short-term solution to overcrowding, but it has people concerned about what will happen down the road, if the city continues to grow.

It was a carefree day for kids at Givens Elementary School, but not for parents who still have Wednesday night's worries on their mind.

"It is just frustration that our school is going to have so many kids at it," parent Kelli Mendenhall said.

The CCSD school board approved a rezoning plan for 17 schools which means students at several schools, especially in the northwest, will either move to a new school or welcome hundreds of new students.

That is the case at Givens Elementary in Summerlin where Mendenhell's son and daughter attend.

LAS VEGAS -- The Mohave County Coroner's Office has identified the body found near White Hills, Ariz. Feb. 19 as Sheila Linke, a Las Vegas woman who Metro Police say was killed by her roommate.

Linke was first reported missing in January. However, in February, Linke's roommate 51-year-old Edward Norman Kopp told police he killed her after a fight.

He told officers she had asked him and his girlfriend to move out and threatened him with a knife. He said he killed her and took her body to Arizona.

The coroner's office says Linke's cause of death was ligature strangulation due to assault and blunt force trauma to the head. The manner of death is listed as homicide.

Kopp is being charged with murder.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A 40-year-old former chef is headed to trial on allegations that he stabbed his Philippine wife to death with knives and a cleaver in their Las Vegas kitchen.

Richard Magdayo Dahan waived a preliminary hearing Thursday of evidence in the Jan. 10 slaying of 28-year-old Daisy Casalta Dahan, and a local judge bound the case over to state court.

Dahan is expected to plead not guilty at his arraignment March 12 in Clark County District Court.

Prosecutors say Dahan could face the death penalty.

Dahan told police he couldn't accept that his wife wanted a divorce just two years after they married in the Philippines.

Daisy Dahan's friends and co-workers at a Las Vegas nursing facility say they feared she was in a dangerously abusive marriage before she was killed.
