HENDERSON (KTNV) — Police in Henderson are investigating a fatal shooting in the parking lot of a busy strip mall on Wednesday.
A man was pronounced dead at the scene in the 500 block of Marks Street shortly after police were called at 1:30 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found a man on the ground with a gunshot wound. Police say medical personnel tried to treat him, but he died at the scene.
At this time, no other injuries have been reported. Investigators remained on scene for several hours Wednesday collecting evidence.
In an updated statement on Thursday, the Henderson Police Department said investigators suspect the shooting was possibly done in self-defense.
They noted the man who died was shot by another man he'd approached "with a firearm in his hand in a confrontational manner."
