A 21-year-old woman who faces a murder charge in the robbery/shooting death of a North Las Vegas cab driver will go before a Las Vegas judge Tuesday morning.

Autumn Dawn Murry was arrested Friday in connection with the March 4 death of Tesfaye Arze, 30, who was found laying in the street near his taxi in the northeast valley.

Murry is scheduled to have a 72-hour hearing at 8 a.m. Tuesday in Las Vegas Justice Court before Justice of the Peace Melanie Tobiasson.

Murry was booked into the Clark County Detention Center Friday on one count of murder with a deadly weapon and two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon. She is being held without bail.

She is believed to be one of two women who were last seen getting into Arze's cab on the taxi's surveillance camera.

Police are still searching for the second woman, Felicia Mosely, 18, as a person of interest in the case.

Anyone with information about Mosely or about the shooting is being urged to call Metro's Homicide Section at 828-3521 or Crime Stoppers at 385-5555.

According to police, officers responded at 3:36 a.m. March 4 to reports of shots fired in the 6300 block of High Sierra Avenue, near Mt. Hood Street and Carey Avenue.

Police said they found Arze in the street, shot to death outside his taxi.

The Clark County Coroner's Office say he died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Detectives investigating the case said they thought robbery was the motive behind the shooting.
