Victim of fatal shooting at NLV store identified

Authorities have identified a 27-year-old man who died after a nighttime shooting in front of a North Las Vegas convenience store.

Clark County coroner’s officials say Daniel Chavez Garcia died of multiple gunshot wounds after the shooting Wednesday just outside the El Paso Market on East Owens Avenue.

Police say they think the Las Vegas resident was standing just outside the store when the gunman opened fire and fled on foot. Authorities haven’t released any information about a suspect.

Garcia’s death is the seventh homicide in North Las Vegas this year.
