1 dead, 2 injured in northwest Las Vegas shooting

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – One man is dead and two others were injured in what police described as a possible fight between roommates following a shooting in the northwest Las Vegas valley.

It took place on Thursday shortly after 6:30 p.m. along the 7300 block of Nautical Stone Court near North Durango Drive and Oso Blanca Road.

When officers arrived they saw two men injured in the street with gunshot wounds. Officers then dragged the two men to a safe location, that way a medical team could reach them.

Another female who had been shot approached officers. All three were then taken to the hospital for medical treatment, according to police.

As officers located the suspect’s home the garage door opened and the suspect surrendered to police without incident, police said.

One of the men who was shot was believed to be in his 30s and was pronounced dead. A second man believed to be in his 40s and the woman who was injured have non-life threatening injuries, police said.

“This was a pretty dynamic incident that occurred in a very tight neighborhood over here. We’re extremely lucky that this is all that happened and one person is deceased right now,” Lt. Jason Johansson said.

Police believe the suspect and the two men may have been roommates at the home who got into a verbal altercation that turned into a physical altercation. Police allege that the suspect at some point shot both men. Police also said they believe the woman may have been an innocent bystander in the shooting.

Las Vegas Metro police told 8 News Now it is investigating the incident as a homicide. Those with information on the shooting should call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
