2 dead, no arrests made in homicide near Las Vegas Strip
Two men were shot and killed Friday evening during a fight at an apartment complex east of the Strip, Las Vegas police said.
Officers were called about 5:30 p.m. to the Harbor Island Apartments, 370 E. Harmon Ave., after multiple residents reported hearing gunshots, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Richard Meyers.
Police found two men suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. One was pronounced dead at the scene and another was taken to a local hospital where he died, Meyers said.
“This event was extremely dynamic and involves multiple witnesses and people calling into 911,” Meyers said at the scene Friday. “Those individuals are currently being interviewed by the LVMPD homicide section.”
Detectives believe that the two men killed were involved in a fight with another man, during which he shot the two victims, police said Saturday. The suspected shooter then fled the complex in an unknown vehicle.
Police said the suspect is about 6-foot, 4-inches tall, and weighs about 210 pounds. He has long hair and was last seen wearing a dark gray shirt and blue jeans.
The men killed will be identified by the Clark County coroner’s office.
During the investigation, a driver was arrested on suspected impaired driving after the person drove through the police perimeter set up at Harbor Island, Meyers said.
Police encouraged anyone with information about the shooting to contact Metros’ homicide section at 702-828-3521. Anonymous tips can be left with Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
