the newsroom with his story. vince? christine....adam.... when i first spoke with police on friday.. just hours after alonso perez escaped.... police described him as armed and dangerous due to his violent history.... today i spoke with a man who believes he saw that violent history first hand.... and it almost cost him his life.... "just pop, pop, pop like what your general red fire cracker would sound like, is what it sounded like from in here." but from outside video surveillance tells a di story. "i thought it was all fake, to be honest with you til it was all over." scott lewis believes the man you see on this apartment security video is alonso perez. you can see the man pulling a gun in broad daylight and firing nine shots at the manager's office in late july. lewis tells me the man previously lived here at the peterson motel and apartments for two weeks. under what police confirmed to lewis was a false name. "he said he had been doing some painting and he gave me some paint supplies and plastic and tape as

nice, we never had a cross word." but that all changed a couple weeks later. lewis tells me the man and his girlfriend were arguing.. and as a rule doesn't let hostile people inside his office. (nats him explaing what happened) lewis did file a police report.. and fox 5 did find a case matching the description of fox 5 did find a description of perez and an incident on july 25th. but we have been unable to confirm this with police. when lewis saw reports of a suspect escape police custody he says he knew it was the same man who rented an apartment from him. "just blown away, it was amazing to me that the same guy on the news is the same one that opened shots at the office." "i though that he would have left, we figured he packed up and left the state, but obviously he is still right here in our own neighborhood." because of his experience...lewis

the most dangerous person on the street. and hopes by telling his story he will get perez back behind bars. "right now he has no concern for life, obviously for anyone else or himself." "now knowing he actually killed a man at a local mcdonalds and broke free from handcuffs, he's probably not going to go without a fight." now christine.. adam.. due to the labor day holiday we have been unable to verify the man in the video is the same man wanted for murder. but the apartment manager is confident the two are one in the same... in the newsroom.. i'm vince sapienza.. fox5...news.. local...las vegas..... police say if you

police say if you have seen this man -- do not approach him. instead call crime stoppers at 702 - 385 - 55-55 you can remain a fire damaged a mobile home early this morning. the fire started just after five, near sandhill and charleston. clark county firefighters tell fox5 it took several trucks and crews to get this fire under control. no one was home during the fire and no one was hurt. still no word on how the fire started. and metro police are looking for a driver who hit a woman crossing the street, and then took off. this happened around 11:30 last night, near m-l-k and lake mead.

next week. for many of you it for many of you it

for many of you it was a nice day off on this beautiful labor day. but for some... like us... it was just another fun day at work. fox5's kathleen jacob talked to lots of you laborers out laboring on this holiday and joins us live from cowabunga bay. kathleen? that's r christine, adam. this place was filled with people off of work and school celebrating the holiday. but... for some of us...the work didn't stop. in fact for some businesses... today is one of their busiest days. nobody's union here so those are the folks that are off today i think. the labor folks... because labor day was for the labor unions i believe. jonathan vitt is right. it all started with the unions... but now... it's expanded much further than just those workers...

country...have the day off to celebrate. "i'm very grateful because it allows us to have the opportunity to spend time with our family." but... there are those select few places where labor day is just another day on the job. "making fantastic chicken for everybody in henderson who's not working today, laying by the pool." the chicken shack doesn't close its doors... in fact... they had a line all day. it seems to be just another normal day here in las vegas. restaurants aren't the only ones that don't take a break. cowabunga bay sees one of it's busiest days of the season today. every holiday people come in and they're all happy because they're like 'oh my gosh, it's a waterpark. we're all together." so we get like the friendliest customers and it's just so fun to work with everyone. the waterpark has about 28 hundred visitors today... so they have more than 120 employees working hard on this holiday. i don't work all day, there's still stuff to do at night. so i love actually letting these families have fun and being part of that experience for them to make it more fun for them. and it's those hard workers that

the most. thanks for working so we can play. thanks for working hard. i know its probably time they want to spend with their families but we really appreciate it, so thank you. all of the people working today that i talked to did seem to have that great attitude about it. so even though it was just another day on the job... and they had to watch other people celebrate... they stayed positive. reporting from cowabunga bay... kathleen jacob... fox5 news, local. las vegas. and just a brief history lesson... like kathleen mentioned...while many people just see this day as the last day of summer... this holiday was originally started for labor unions wanting to unify the workforce and reduce working hours. closed captioning will resume while people are
