Felony Murder

Felony Murder in Las Vegas, Nevada is a murder committed during the commission of the following Felony offenses, even if the death was unintentional: arson, burglary, child abuse, elder abuse, home invasion, kidnapping, robbery, and sexual assault of an adult or child.  For example, if Rick decided to rob a liquor store, and during the robbery, Bryce an innocent by stander, attempted to stop the robbery by blocking the exit, and Rick knocked Bryce down to the ground where Bryce hit his head on the floor and died, Rick would be charged with Felony Murder.  Rick’s sole intention was to steal the money and leave; but during the commission of that dangerous felony he killed Bryce, and although the death was unintentional he will be charged with Felony Murder.
