Las Vegas police are conducting a homicide investigation on Marlin Avenue, near Mojave Road and Stewart Avenue.
Lt. Ray Spencer said that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was contacted several times about a man being shot shortly after 6 p.m. Saturday evening.
Police discovered a male in his early 30s who had a single gunshot wound. He was transported to University Medical Center Trauma where he was pronounced dead.
Witnesses told officers that the incident began with neighbors arguing which escalated to a physical argument where the suspect, a black woman in her mid 30s, pulled a gun and shot the victim.

Police have discovered that there has been an ongoing dispute between the neighbors, including several arguments over a barking dog.
Child Protective Services were called in to take possession of the children.
