On the night of the crash, the 8-year-old was located by first responders in the area of North Las Vegas and Lamb boulevard around 9:33 p.m., according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

An initial investigation revealed that the child has crossed the road outside of a marked or implied crosswalk and was hit by a 2011 Hyundai Elantra traveling north of Las Vegas Boulevard.
It is unclear if the child was alone at the time of the crash.
The driver involved in the crash remained on scene and cooperated with police. Officers say no impairment is suspected.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
Ecott and Lambdin are due in court for their initial appearances on Thursday, July 2.
