Search continues for deadly DUI suspect

Each week, the Crime Tracker Team will tell you about a wanted suspect on the run from the law.

This week, be on the lookout for Carlos Henriquez. He's a 53-year-old Hispanic male with a partial head of black hair and a "salt-and-pepper" colored moustache.

Henriquez is accused of driving his truck into motorcyclists James and Debbie Corrao last March. James was killed during the crash.

Henriquez was released from jail shortly thereafter and skipped out on his next court appearance.

Last week Stop DUI offered a $5,000 reward for his arrest. Earlier calls to CrimeStoppers suggest that Henriquez is still in Las Vegas.

"I feel like I would be able to move on a little bit better than I am now because I'm not able to move on," says Debbie. "You don't have to tell who you are to turn him in, just turn him in. Do the right thing."
