Las Vegas police search for suspect in June road-rage shooting

Police said Thursday that a shooting from June in downtown Las Vegas began as a road rage incident between two cars.

On June 4, officers arrived at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Bonanza Road to investigate reports of a shooting that injured two people.

A man in a car fired rounds into another car after an argument over a traffic incident, the Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement.

Police asked Thursday for the public’s help identifying the shooter. One arrest for another man involved in the shooting, Roman Guerrero, was made the day of the incident.

The shooter police are searching for fired 10 rounds in Guerrero’s direction, striking Guerrero’s wife in the shoulder.

As the shooter fled, Guererro shot back, striking a bystander who was uninvolved in the initial altercation.

Both the man and the woman injured survived.

Metro describes the outstanding shooter as almost 6 feet tall, 170 pounds and 24 to 28 years old. Police say he may be known as “Bear.”

Anyone with information about the incident may call Metro’s homicide section at 702-828-3521 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
