Officials search for inmate who walked away from work camp in Boulder City

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Law enforcement officials are searching for a “minimum-security offender” who they say walked away from a job site in Boulder City.

Oliver Zamora, 34, disappeared from the work camp in the 500 block of Adams Boulevard at around 10 a.m. Monday, according to a release from the Nevada Department of Corrections, and is serving a 12 to 48-month sentence for transporting a controlled substance.

Zamora is described as 5’10” tall and weighing 220 lbs. Zamora was last seen wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans. He has a California bear tattoo on his right hand, an “S” and a “KOA” on his right forearm, and a “D” on his left forearm.

Officials reiterate that Zamora walked away from the work assignment, which differs from an “escape” as he did not break out of the secured perimeter.
