Transportation Safety Board released last week did not pinpoint a cause for the crash, other than noting toxicology tests found PCP, alcohol and cocaine in Robinson’s system.
“There’s no way to say to you how I’m feeling because I still hurt from that,” Zacarias said.
Though he was stopped several times for speeding, Robinson’s driving record included just one documented speeding ticket, the NTSB reported. The speeding tickets were lowered to other violations, records the 8 News Now Investigators reviewed indicated.
Investigators found court receipts from both North Las Vegas and Las Vegas in Robinson’s car, the report said. Robinson’s latest ticket, the one from Dec. 9, 2021, was not yet in his official driving record, the NTSB said.
“The other was a receipt from the Las Vegas Municipal Court dated December 28, 2021, which showed a guilty plea for speeding 16-20 miles per hour over the limit,” the report said. “This ticket was also not reflected on his official Nevada driving record nor had the 2 demerit points been assigned for this offense.”
Body camera video the 8 News Now Investigators obtained from Robinson’s December 2021 traffic stop shows him fumbling for paperwork in his glove compartment. The officer had clocked Robinson driving 64 mph in a 45-mph zone – 19 miles over the speed limit.
Robinson told the officer he was driving home from work. He is driving the same car that a month later would become a murder weapon.

“Is your driver’s license going to be good?” the officer said to Robinson as he walks back to his bike to run Robinson’s license. Though police had stopped him at least five times before this stop, Robinson’s 10-year driving record would show just one moving violation
