Ammar Harris is shown in this undated Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department handout photo.
The suspect in last week's triple slaying on the Las Vegas Strip has been arrested in Los Angeles, the Clark County District Attorney's Office said on Thursday.
Ammar Harris, 26, was taken into custody in LA in connection with the shooting death of Oakland rapper Kenneth Wayne Cherry Jr. aka Kenny Clutch, officials said.
Details about his arrest were not immediately available. KSNV, NBC's affiliate in Las Vegas, reported that the suspect was hiding out in LA at a friend's home that a task force of officers had been watching.
Las Vegas police expect to have more information about the arrest at an afternoon press conference.
Police accuse the suspect of being the driver of a Range Rover from which gunfire erupted, killing the 27-year-old rapper.
Clutch died at the wheel of a Maserati.
The Maserati crashed into a taxicab which subsequently exploded, killing the driver and the 48-year old passenger.
Harris was identified by police as the lead suspect in the case.
Harris could be seen online boasting about the stacks of money that have come his way thanks to being a pimp, according to reports.
In one video, Harris "flashes a thick stack" of $100 bills.
In a Web posting, he boasts of the flock of women at his home, all of whom are working for him.
In another, he talks about the birthday party he is organizing on a boat in the Atlantic Ocean, replete with a $1,000 bikini contest, the AP reported.

Now will he be charged with triple homicide, or one count homicide two counts manslaughter?
But what about that SKANK girlfriend he was pictured with ?
Looks like the wanna be pimper will soon become a prison bitch pimpee! Kinda like "Undercover Boss", but funnier!
I was expecting this guy to be a bright eyed Irish catholic. Or an asian man. But an African American?
I'm shocked. SHOCKED.
Yo. Dude. Life sentence. (sound of gavel strike)
He'll be able to spend all his time getting his lower intestine straightened for fun and profit now.
He will be needing a pimp of his own soon enough.
Normally, when people are on the run, they flee to Vegas. When I lived there for 13+ years, it was amazing at how many people are captured in Vegas. So, when you are on the run from Vegas, you go to Los Angeles? Probably assumed he would blend in with the other bangers there.
hopefully the other cons saw his video of all his money he was showing off.they like people with money.they have ways of getting it from him too.hehe.
He is just another victim of a white racist society that holds back anyone who is black, never allowed the chance to be anything or strive to be anything more or have any other choice but to live a "lowlife" Whites in this country will never allow the black man stand on his own, be or act anything more than an animal....AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A BLACK MAN BE IN POWER, TO LIVE IN THE "WHITE" HOUSE.....oh..wait....damn.....
Three counts of murder, since the commission of the first murder, a felony, led to the other two deaths.
Good one.
He wanted to be a bad-ass with a gun,,, he pulled the trigger over summin stupid to show 'HE WAS FOR REAL!" and just changed his life forever!!! What a idiot.
I gotta ask,,, who raised this jerk? That picture is so F'n funny, all that ink and he still looks like a 'lil sweet pea'. That face hair around his mouth looks pretty sex hole.
Just another Gang-Banger Moron
Why doesn't the Obozo Administration go after the Gang Bangers who have destroyed Chicago?
Oh I forgot they look like Obozo's son might look.
What a racist ass ... I'm sure you're proud of your wit. Or the 1/2 of it you showed here.
Where are the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world protesting this black-on-black violence??? OOPS, sorry, no whites involved.
My guess - Three initial counts of 1st degree murder; one count of attempted murder. Interstate flight to avoid prosecution. Settled for one count of murder in the 1st, two Man 1, one attempt murder. With aggravating circumstances, it's the death penalty. He'll get the needle in 15 years.
If I see this guy on the streets ?............."NO I should not read the book by it's cover ".
I hope he doesn't died young for living fast as his tattoo suggest but rather I would like to see him rot in prison SLOWLY!
If Obama has a son it would look like this guy!!!!
I'll bet his boyfriend loves those cute glasses and closely trimmed 'stache.
Nah irish catholic would either be a car bomb, molotov, or sniper
Asian would have been 35-50 yrs old with a knife.
School mall or movie would have been a white male under 25 yrs of age
Arab would have been a plane, car bomb, or suicide vest and no age restrictions.
Drive bys are african american usually 14 to 25 yrs of age.
12, 21 deleted, Vern-1642229 and Dee Ten derailing about the POTUS, much like Witchking did. You're each suspended for a day for violating #4 of the Code of Honor. Write your own articles connecting Harris to the POTUS. Way off-topic.
Its a shame because he sounded like a really great guy...
Yes, Cory, doesn't he? Another fine product of black parenting.
LOL! You said "parenting"! Blacks don't have parents, they have baby mommas and grandmothers. What's the one word you never hear a black person say?
Dad.
David; That is SO racist...but largely true!
David said it,,, This has to change. I don't understand how a father could walk away from his child... This is destroying generations!
How can someone never think ahead that if they really are the badass that can't be wrong and they fix something with a gun,,, their life is over.
dude screwed his self out of a life by taking decent peoples lives...young people need positive role models...
It was George Bush's fault, didn't you get the memo from the White House???
Too Smart....you may get a "You will regret this" memo from the thinly veiled threatening hoods in da house.
He can have his bikini contest in prison now.
Yeah, but his mom and sister won't be able to compete for the $1,000 any more.
Wonder who gets to pimp him in prison?
Poster child for RETRO-ACTIVE abortion and death penalty.
With any luck, he'll be in a bikini contest behind bars.
A bikini contest featuring tattoos.
Ok, guys. I think that it will be mankini contests in the graybar hotel.
He is not laughing now!!! Glad they got him!
Yeah buddy! Hope he rots in hell!
Should have let the LVPD put him in a hole in the desert. Now another waste of millions in tax payer money for lawyers,courts and prison.
Maybe we can persuade OJ to shank him? He's had plenty of practice...
What a piece of work - into the volcano with him and his ilk.
him an his ink.
This individual set himself up for failure long ago. Sooner or later, his fate was sealed. It was just a matter of how or when. By his very choices his behaviors were forcing him down a path to destruction that he could not escape. The chains of habit are usually too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
His habits of stone heart, intolerant and merciless,aggressive mixed with abusive foolish choices. Pimping always goes with disrespectful, dominating and violence.Throw in carrying a gun which often follows boastful, arrogant, defiant and risk. All of these traits started long ago. Link by link he forged his chains. And somewhere echoes the Devil's laugh. As He slowly pulls another set of chains firmly bound to this soul headed to Hell.Shaking His head, laughing,"Can't wait till this one is dead!"
And in that day shall the Lord God be given power over all His own. And Satan shall be given power over his own.
You are assuming he doesn't sincerely repent and ask your dear and fluffy lord for forgiveness. The only unpardonable sin is disrespecting the Holy Ghost, whatever that means. If he truly repents, he will go to heaven; that's Christian theology 101. If, in his dying moments, Hitler repented he's in heaven now, while all the Jews he murdered are in hell, because Jesus said "no one comes to the Father except through me". No, it makes no sense to me either.
Actually, according to scripture, there is no forgiveness for the sin of murder. Unlike what many believe.Why even Kind David himself,called the beloved of the Lord, could not get forgiveness from God, for the murder of Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, the Hittite.Whom he had killed so he could take her to be his wife. Only the promise his soul would not be forgotten, but remembered in the end when all men are judged.He must pay the price himself. Hence the commandment, Thou Shalt Not Murder.
The Sin against the Holy Ghost, is something most people are unable to commit. They would need to have Jesus Christ appear unto them. And know, beyond a shadow of a doubt it is Him, for the Holy Ghost would testify it is Jesus Christ, removing any doubts, no faith is needed for knowledge is knowing it fully. And then turn away and deny Jesus is the Christ, whereby men would sacrifice Him, if they could. Denying He is the Only Begotten of the Father, the Savior of Mankind. That is the unpardonable sin. For having once known fully, they sin against the knowledge knowing full well and still harden their hearts.
Now us Taxpayers have pick up the bill to help this dckkk, we put a roof over his head, we feed his azzzz. Because he kills. Not cool at all. So if he kills then he shall be killed himself. This is how it should be done.
i have read he has an extensive criminal record.
the judges complicit in giving him light sentences should be held responsible for these 3 deaths also.
Ah, if only it were so. Judges and parole boards should be responsible for their decisions, but alas!
Article on MSN by the AP pointed out that Harris was arrested in Las Vegas last year:
Maybe if that had been prosecuted he would be in jail and this killing of three innocent people would never have happened. But this guy has no conscience and would have committed more crimes anyway. He deserves the death penalty. He's so proud of the fact that he extorts and intimidates defenseless women. Not man enough to mingle with men.
One less punk on the street!
For awhile anyway....
Do you think maybe the cops were expecting him to show up in Mississippi?
Annie-322924: Ever hear of Ted Bundy, John W. Gacy, Jeff Dahmer, Ed Gein? They aren't Black. Why are you putting race in your response. A fool of any color is a fool. Then there's YOU! Who raised such a racist idiot?!
...and the fool that this story is about, happens to be BLACK.
Give Annie a break. Look at her picture. She's clearly over 100 years old. People that old can't think anymore. Give her credit for being able to use a PC! And cut her some slack for being too old to know right from wrong.
Harold of the rocks, what a tasteless comment. Or just hateful.
Harold has an ample supply of hateful and hubris.
mpa... a challenge to you. Click on my name and read my posts. Find the "ample supply of hate" and re-post.
In hindsight, my above comments about Annie were beneath me and I know better. I clearly dropped the ball and do apologize to Annie for my transgression.
What I said was mean and uncalled for. But it wasn't hate. Here's a good example of hate:
Harold of the Rocks
It's good to apologize when errors occur!
And the coming interview,,,,,, he was such a nice boy, helped all the neighbors with the yard work, I can't understand what happened to him, and on and on. POS
I believe he was just turning his life around . . .
The best one, "he always went to church"...
He'll be able to spend all his time getting his lower intestine straightened for fun and profit now.
You said it Gret, a slimball is a slimball no matter what color..
LOL. USA, USA, USA.
Somewhere there is a tatoo artist with a tear running down his cheek.
If Barack Hussein had a son, he'd look like Ammar Fahrvergnugen Harris.
If Saddam Hussein had had a son with an East African woman, he'd look like Ammar Fahrvergnugen Harris.
If Muhammad had a son with a male pig, he'd look like Ammar Fahrvergnugen Harris.
Dan, Vern, now you've done it! There will be violent protests all over the Middle East and our consulate folks are in deep trouble. You've just created another "bump in the road" - damn, man.
This peice of crap low-life boot-lipped nubian peice of dog crap should be taken out and put in a 50 gallon drum full of gas and set on fire and burn like the poor innocent people he was responsible for killing. Put a tube up his arse and fill his lower intestine with some GREAT STUFF expandable weather proofing foam. Scum bag Moolie Pimp wanna be fag punk. I hope he gets his poop shute filled with "Bald Headed Johns Sausage". Other than that i'm gonna sleep like a baby tonite!
WOOOO SAAAA..... Now light a scented candle. Works for me! :)
You could say that...
I do not write this reply much, because I would be writing thousands of times a day. But first of all, wishing evil on someone else turns you into the one you seek vengeance upon. It takes work to learn not to think that way. Many are upon the path to learning.
However, when one is compelled to methodically break their imaginary vengeance scenes into ridiculously detailed scenes of torture, that person is a good candidate for mental health counseling.
Who said anything about vengeance pal, this is just for entertainment. Vengeance belongs to the man up stairs.
I happen to work in Mental Hygeine also, gee you must have ESPN?
Oh By the way, the above reply was directed to Mr. 100Reddles. I think if scumbags like this murdering punk knew that the consequences out-weigh the rewards of being a murderer. I could think of more hidious things to do to a peice of premordial dog crap like this guy is. like sheet-rock screw his nutsack to a floor of a house and set a couple of hungry pit bulls inside.
And that being said, it's Medication time and I need to do rounds with my interns.
Good post, Reddles. But I am sure you are aware that newsvine is the home of keyboard cowboys, cyber badasses, and a surprising number of folks who like to share their prison rape fantasies.
Sort of like yourself with a sexual identification problem eh sweet cheeks.
Hey Sparkey... I need a dozen towels so the boys can take a shower.
I'm almost 2 kilometers tall!
How about a colada and milk? On 2nd thought, make that a water... HTO!
Your pomona is very extinct. I just love the way these Copenhagens talk.
That looks like that stuff Freckles lets out once a month.
Sorry John sorry, better try it again.
Gee Sparky, now do you want to tell ushow you REALLY feel?????
"sleep like a baby" Racist pig! Does that mean you will be crying every two hours for your mother since you likely live in her basement and still suck her tit I am sure. At least part of your name is correct "Clown." You are a pitiful little man.
Boy did this guys life change, instead of being a pimp, he will become a she and be someone;s bitch in prison. Tell him to bend over and take it like a man or a women.
Doubtful. He will likely be a celebrity - successful pimp, tatooed gangbanger, got his target who "dissed" him.
They'll probably only briefly chide him for being apprehended so quickly: Wha the fuh wrong with you? Aiight? You din take out no pigs? Wha the fuh?
Rockin, that is properly spelled "yome sane". Ebonics police here.
Yeah well they let him out last time on Parole with a mile long rap sheet. Someone else should be held accountable for releasing him because 3 folks are now dead because of it. The Judge should grant NO BAIL on this despicable person. No wonder the citizens of our country are so damn mad. There are about 2.6 million in prisons and jails in the USA. Guess what though there are also 7.5 million that are on Parole. Never mind ones that have not been caught yet. I state again it's People and not guns that are the problem. Just look around you and see.
I love how the story before this one shows a picture of him smiling like he's the @!$%#, and now that he's caught, he looks serious...lol.
Let's see how serious the Feds are about thugs with guns. The guy was arrested for multiple offenses and should not have been in possession of a firearm. Since the thug crossed state lines it is also very likely other Federal laws were broken.
This piece of filth is exactly what the average American citizen has to fear. A violent, low life thug with no care about other human life. These are the people who will shoot you, not because they are crazy, but because they are inhuman. Sure, there are crazy people like Lanza, Holmes, and Loughner; but you are much more likely to be murdered by scumbag career criminals like this guy.
Come on Obama & Biden, throw the entire weight of the Federal judicial system against this guy and show us you are serious about prosecuting the offenders and not just infringing on the rights of law-abiding citizens.
Exactly. In this instance, it wouldn't have "saved just one", but THREE!!!
Mr.smarty pants big shot will find out in the Nevada prison system that he is as worthless as gum stuck on the sole of a shoe.He deserves every miserable day that he gets for the rest of his life.
