LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — On August 1, at approximately 4:08 a.m., LVMPD officers responded to a shooting at a housing complex in the 1700 block of Marion Drive.
Arriving officers located a man suffering from a gunshot wound and transported the victim to UMC where he was pronounced deceased by responding medical personnel.
The LVMPD Homicide Section’s investigation indicates the victim was outside the complex when he was approached by an unidentified suspect. The victim and the suspect were involved in a dispute, which led to the victim chasing the suspect. During the chase, the suspect produced a firearm and shot the victim. The suspect then fled the area.
