Authorities say two suspects are in custody for a woman's death after a robbery in Boulder City more than two years ago.
A Boulder City resident was the victim of a "follow-home robbery" in October 2021, Boulder City Police said in a statement. Two people followed the victim from Las Vegas to Boulder City and robbed her of her purse.
Police say she suffered severe head injuries during the robbery and died two months later. Her death was ruled a homicide, according to police.
Detectives began investigating and identified two suspects in the case. They obtained warrants for their arrests this past February.
One suspect was arrested in Portland, Oregon, on March 18, and is awaiting extradition to Nevada. Another suspect was arrested in Contra Costa County, California, the following day and has been extradited. Boulder City Police say the investigation is ongoing.
While police did not name the suspects, jail and court records identified them as Angelina Marie Crawford, 29, and Amoni Ponnell-Fountain, 25.
A criminal complaint was filed in January in Boulder City Justice Court charging them with the murder of Fukuko Combs.
Ponnell-Fountain is being held at Clark County Detention Center without bail, and she's scheduled to appear for a felony arraignment hearing in Boulder City on April 9.
Multnomah County Jail records show Crawford is facing multiple theft charges in Portland, in addition to the warrant out of Boulder City. A booking photo of Crawford was not immediately available.
