About nine seconds later, the two cars sped toward the Flamingo Road intersection and as they approached the intersection, two gunshots were recorded on the cab's video. A few seconds later, three more gunshots were heard.
The Maserati then ran a red light at Flamingo Road, hitting a taxi cab driven by Michael Boldon. The cab exploded, killing Boldon and his passenger, Sandra Sutton-Wasmund.
