North Las Vegas police are investigating after a man was shot and killed Friday afternoon.

Officers were called to Brooks Avenue and Revere Street, south of Cheyenne Avenue, about 2:25 p.m., North Las Vegas Police Department spokesman Alex Cuevas said. When they arrived they found a man, believed to be in his 30s, with a gunshot wound.

The man died at the scene, Cuevas said.
