A man who was sentenced to life in prison for the bombing of a Las Vegas Strip resort has escaped.
A state Department of Correction statement said search teams were looking for him after officials realized he was missing during a head count.
A hot dog stand vendor was killed by a motion-activated bomb in a coffee cup on top of a car.
His co-defendant was still in custody Tuesday. A man from Guatemala is serving a life sentence in Nevada for murder, attempted murder, explosives and other crimes.
Both men were spared the death penalty by a Clark County District Court jury.
According to prosecutors, jealousy was the reason for the attack on the top deck. There was a fear of a terrorist attack on the Strip.
The officials said that the person was 5 feet, 4 inches tall and 135 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair.
