The Associated Press reported he refused to come to court.<\/p>\n<p>Schmid was arrested on May 16 in Desert Hot Springs, Calif. in connection with the robbery and hit-and-run on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/dottys-casino-manager-run-over-killed-after-nevada-violent-robbery\/\">Alicia Gibellina<\/a>, 60, at the Las Vegas gaming venue.<\/p>\n<p>He was extradited back to Nevada on Friday. He continues to be held at the Clark County Detention Center. Schmid is charged with murder, robbery, battery, and conspiracy, the AP said.<\/p>\n<p>The May 11 incident took place at Flamingo Road and Jones Boulevard in the unincorporated community of Spring Valley, Nev. He allegedly robbed a pocketbook from a player inside the gaming venue.<\/p>\n<h2>Confronted by Manager<\/h2>\n<p>He then fled to a Mercedes SUV in the shopping center\u2019s parking lot.

Schmid, who was inside the vehicle, displayed a firearm.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>Gibellina then backed away and moved behind the SUV. The vehicle suddenly went into reverse and ran her over. She was seriously injured and later died. The SUV fled the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Death Ruled Homicide<\/h2>\n<p>An autopsy confirmed Gibellina died from blunt force injuries. The Clark County Coroner&#8217;s office ruled her death a homicide, <em>KSNV<\/em>, a local TV station, reported.<\/p>\n<p>The SUV used in the crime was reported stolen. The woman who had her pocketbook stolen was also injured. She is expected to recover.<\/p>\n<p>Dotty\u2019s is a chain with locations in Nevada, Oregon, and Montana.
