On July 30, 2023, Angel Naranjo, his brother, Arley Naranjo, and some friends were riding bikes on the “Wash Trail” near N. Pecos Road and E. Lake Mead Boulevard when Angel ran over the cable and was thrown from his motorized minibike. He suffered neck and head injuries and died shortly after the ******.

The Clark County coroner’s office ruled the death accidental and the autopsy report for Angel revealed he had 10 times the legal limit of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in his body. THC is the psychoactive ingredient in **********.

The family’s lawsuit contends Angel’s death was caused by negligence in maintaining and ensuring safety on the trail.

The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday, states the trail was in a “complete state of disrepair,” adding the lights along the trail were not working, the fencing was vulnerable to vandalism, and the area was overrun with homeless people causing hazards for people using the trail.

“Due to non-operational lighting in the Wash Trail, the metal cable was invisible to Angel, Arley, and their group,” according to the lawsuit.
