Las Vegas police are investigating a fatal stabbing in the central valley Sunday evening.

A man was killed at the Indian Hills Apartments, 4550 W. Sahara Ave., after he confronted the driver of a car for going fast through the complex where kids were playing, according to Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Lt. Ray Spencer.

The two men got into a fight after the driver got out of the car, Spencer said at the scene. The driver stabbed the man, got back into his car and drove away.

Police do not believe the two men knew each other.
