LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Police have identified a 20-year-old man fatally shot Friday in an alleyway not far from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus.

Clark County coroner's officials say Las Vegas resident Quenshon Dontray Jackson died in the hospital of a gunshot wound to the head.

Authorities say they got multiple calls a little before noon Friday about a shooting on East Harmon Avenue and Spencer Street.

Police Officer Bill Cassell says Jackson was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, and was pronounced dead about an hour later.

Police were looking for an older white SUV that left the scene with four males inside.
