NORTH LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The North Las Vegas Police Department says they believe that two shootings in their jurisdiction on Tuesday were not random.
Police officers discovered a man who had been shot multiple times in the 1800 block of McDonald Avenue near Carey Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard shortly after 10 p.m. The man, believed to be approximately 22 years of age, was transported to University Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say that the victim was waiting in his vehicle when a silver 4-door sedan pulled up next to him. Someone in the vehicle fired multiple rounds at the man who was shot. One shot hit the man and several rounds hit his vehicle.
Police do not believe the shooting was a random act of violence and are looking for the shooter.
NLVPD is also investigating another shooting that happened much earlier in the day.
