LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Police say a gunman is at large after a fatal shooting in the central Las Vegas Valley on Sunday.

Officers from the department's South Central Area Command responded to the 1000 block of Sierra Vista Drive, near Desert Inn Road and Maryland Parkway. There, they found a man inside a vehicle suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, Price said.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene. As of this report, he had not been publicly identified.
Based on their preliminary investigation, Price said homicide detectives believe the victim was in a verbal altercation with at least one other person before he was shot.
During the fight, one of the men pulled out a firearm "and began firing at our victim while he sat in his car," Price said.
Police were told that the man left the area among a group of individuals who are now being sought by police.
Price says that the group included at least three to four people. Investigators were not immediately able to provide descriptions of any suspects or persons of interest, but Price said detectives were talking to witnesses and reviewing surveillance video.
