WATCH | Channel 13 attended LVMPD's media briefing about the incident
Officers responded and found a Hispanic male in his 20s with an apparent gunshot wound.
According to LVMPD, people in the area had already found the man and were performing CPR on him before officials provided medical aid. The man was later pronounced dead at the scene.
"We don't think it was a random act of violence," Lieutenant Rodriguez shared.
Metro believes that because the park is a known hangout spot, the victim may have been meeting up with people in the area before the shooting occurred.
No witnesses have been identified at present, but detectives are still on scene canvassing the area.
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact LVMPD's Homicide Unit. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers of Nevada.
