Las Vegas police searched for a woman accused of using a stolen car to run over and kill a nail salon worker after failing to pay for a US$35 manicure.
Police were trying to identify the woman and were investigating the crime as a murder, Officer Larry Hadfield said.
The woman got a manicure at the weekend at a salon about 2½km from the Las Vegas Strip, but her credit card was declined when she went to pay.
She went to her car, telling salon workers she would come back to pay another way but then tried to drive away, according to police Lieutenant Ray Spencer.
The manicurist ran in front of the car to try to stop the woman from driving off but was hit by the vehicle, police said.
