Man dies several days after northeast Las Vegas shooting

Updated February 28, 2017 - 9:47 am

A man shot earlier this month in the northeast valley died from his injuries Sunday.

On Feb. 16, the Metropolitan Police Department responded to reports of a shooting on the 3400 block of Marquette Drive.

The shooting victim had gone to North Vista Hospital with a gunshot wound to the neck and later to University Medical Center, Metro said.

Police determined that a fight took place between people in two vehicles near Stewart Place Park, by Teakwood and Montello avenues. Police said an argument escalated, a gun was drawn, and a man was shot.

The Clark County coroner will release the decedent’s identity and cause and manner of death once after family has been notified.

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