North Las Vegas shooting leaves 1 dead, 2 injured

Updated February 7, 2021 - 2:00 pm

One person has died and two were hospitalized Saturday night after a shooting in North Las Vegas.

Officers were called at 7:30 p.m. to East Webb Avenue and Davis Place, near West Owens Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard, after a report of a shooting, according to North Las Vegas police spokesman Alexander Cuevas.

Investigators believe two men ran up to a group of people and started shooting, but Cuevas said their motive was unknown Saturday night. Investigators do not think the shooting was a random act of violence, the department said in a news release.

Three people were taken to University Medical Center where one of the victims, a man, died hours later, Cuevas said.

All the victims were in their late 20s or early 30s.
