UPDATE SEPT. 21: North Las Vegas police said a driver fled the scene of a crash after the other driver pulled out a gun. Eventually, the two drivers shot at each other.

Officers were dispatched to the intersection of Cheyenne Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard in regards to a crash between two vehicles, a Honda 4-door sedan and a BMW 2-door coupe. The property damage was minor and no injuries were reported.

The preliminary investigation indicates both vehicles were traveling eastbound on Cheyenne Avenue, approaching Martin Luther King Boulevard, when the driver of the Honda rear-ended the BMW. 

The driver of the BMW, identified as 18-year-old David Rosengrant-Munoz, exited his vehicle and made advances toward the Honda with a firearm in his hand in a threatening manner. It was reported that the 24-year-old driver of the Honda became afraid for his life and fled the crash scene. 

Rosengrant allegedly followed the Honda to the area of Revere Street and Colton Avenue where the two men exited their vehicles and exchanged gunfire. 

Rosengrant was struck multiple times and was later transported to University Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. The 24-year-old driver of the Honda was not injured.

Rosengrant was later booked at the Clark County Detention Center for assault with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery with a deadly weapon, and attempted murder with a deadly weapon.  

Anyone with additional information in this case should call the North Las Vegas Police Department at 702-633-9111 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
