A man who was gunned down outside a central valley home Tuesday evening has been identified by the Clark County coroner’s office.

Rene Espinoza Flores of Dinuba, California, was shot after he got into an argument on the 1000 block of Vernon Avenue, near Rancho Drive and Washington Avenue. He was taken to University Medical Center where he later died.

Las Vegas police still do not know the circumstances that led to the 35-year-old’s death, and a suspect has not yet been identified.
