The fact it's reported as a K makes me think so. Unfortunate news, but it's great to read the pilot is okay.

RT.com says it's a TA-4K (link).

Coverage at other local outlets: www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/pilot-survives-crash-contractor-s-jet-near-nellis-air-force-base-northeast-las-vegas
www.ktnv.com/news/military-plane-may-have-crashed-in-las-vegas-valley (photos and video of the actual site and wreckage)
abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/military-aircraft-crash-reported-desert-las-vegas-41485724 (says the pilot is out of hospital)
