Lakeisha Holloway has been identified as the driver who intentionally drove onto the sidewalk in Las Vegas, mowing down pedestrians.

Buckeye, Arizona resident Jessica Valenzuela, 32, has been named as the one victim who has died.

Dozens of others were injured, and three are in critical condition.

Holloway is a 24-year-old from Portland, reported The Oregonian.

Holloway, who was booked into the Clark County Detention Center after being apprehended by Vegas police, was  previously convicted of operating a vehicle without driving privileges and driving uninsured in December 2011 in Multnomah County in Oregon, according to driving records.

Because she had her young daughter in the car at the time of the crime, she has been charged with first-degree child abuse or neglect in addition to murder and duty to stop at the scene of an accident.
