ORIGINAL STORY
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) -- A killer is still on the loose after a shooting in the south side of the valley Saturday night.
A man was shot in the street on Aspen Valley Avenue near Maryland Parkway and Serene.
Henri Rowlands lives on the street. He says he heard gunshots and was terrified when he looked out his window and saw a body.
"I thought I heard six shots but the cop said it was 12," Rowlands said. "This never happens in this neighborhood. This is one of the first times it's happened here."
Rowlands said he believes it was a drive-by because he saw a car speed off down the street right after he heard the shots.
