During the investigation, police learned the victim was seen with another person before the shooting, Price said.
Witnesses said they heard a pop and then saw the man running to his car, apparently bleeding, and the other person running south on Palos Verde.
Through the investigation, police identified Anthony Rollans, 28, as a suspect. Rollans was booked in absentia in mid-August into the Clark County jail on a charge of open murder.
As the investigation continued, 24-year-old Devin Perkins was also identified as a suspect. On Aug. 29, law enforcement officials in Los Angeles arrested him. He is now held at a Los Angeles County jail awaiting extradition to Las Vegas to face a charge of open murder.
