DA to Pursue Charges In Shooting Death Of Unborn Baby

The man who authorities allege used a chain saw and assault rifle to shoot into his estranged wife’s apartment, killing her boyfriend and the woman's unborn child, will be charged in the slaying of the 18-week-old fetus, the Clark County district attorney said. District Attorney David Roger said lawyers in his office reviewed the case and determined they will pursue an additional charge of “manslaughter, killing of an unborn quick child,” against 25-year-old William John Keck. Keck faced charges of murder, attempted murder, and battery with a deadly weapon resulting in bodily harm for the early-morning shooting Monday at the apartments of Fountains at Villa Cordova, 2800 S. Eastern Ave.

A man suspected of killing the 18-week-old fetus of his estranged wife and of killing the woman's new boyfriend was indicted by a federal grand jury in Arizona earlier this year on charges of assault and robbery, according to documents obtained by the Las Vegas Sun. William John Keck was charged, along with five others, after an attack on two men at the Kingman Wash on the Arizona side of Lake Mead on Feb. 24, according to the indictment. The charges were filed in federal court because the Lake Mead National Recreation Area is federal land.
