- Gavin Caci, a self-described Las Vegas club promoter, is charged with DUI and fleeing the scene of an accident after striking a family of three visiting from the UK near the Strip
- A mother and her two-year-old daughter remain in critical condition with “potentially life-threatening” injuries
- Caci was arrested at Topgolf, after a witness followed his fleeing 2026 Tesla
A catastrophic hit-and-run near the Las Vegas Strip on Super Bowl Sunday has left a visiting family from the United Kingdom shattered. Gavin Caci, a 28-year-old Las Vegas resident and self-identified club promoter, stands accused of striking a mother and her toddler with his vehicle before fleeing the scene.
At approximately 7:35 p.m. on February 8, 2026, according to Las Vegas police, Caci crashed his grey 2026 Tesla Model Y into the rear of a Chevrolet Trax driven by Yurdenia Velazco-Hernandez, a 35-year-old Las Vegas resident who was stopped at a red light near Harmon Avenue and Audrie Lane.
The force of the collision redirected Caci’s Tesla onto the south sidewalk lining eastbound Harmon, where it struck a family of three visiting from the United Kingdom and waiting to cross the street.
An unidentified 43-year-old woman, and the two-year-old girl she was pushing in her stroller, are being treated for “potentially life-threatening” injuries at University Medical Center, after police say that EMS initiated “life-saving” measures on scene. The toddler’s 38-year-old father and Velazco-Hernandez suffered only minor injuries.
Caci, the only person involved who was not physically harmed, fled the scene but was followed by a witness to the nearby Topgolf parking lot at 4627 Koval Lane. Here, he was arrested by Las Vegas police, who reported that he “showed signs of impairment.”
Caci faces:
- Two counts of DUI resulting in substantial bodily harm
- Two counts of reckless driving
- Four counts of failing to stop at the scene of an accident
During a Monday morning court hearing, Caci was ordered held without bail. His defense team was granted a continuance to review the evidence, and his next appearance is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
