Lt. Ray Spencer with Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Homicide said ShotSpotter identified a lot of gunfire happening near Whitney Community Center close to Boulder Highway and Tropicana Avenue at around 11:45 p.m.
He said no one was on the scene when responding officers arrived, but they found several bullet casings from different weapons in the area.

Another man was dropped off at Sunrise Trauma with gunshot wounds as well.
