LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A man was killed in a shooting east of the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday morning, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said.

Police were called to 955 E. Twain Ave. at approximately 11:21 a.m. after reports of the shooting. They say the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

A woman was transported to Sunrise Hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries to her leg, said Lt. Jason Johansson, a public information officer for LVMPD.

Johansson said the man and woman were fighting when an unknown suspect shot them both.

The homicide investigation was still in its early stages, and Johansson invited anyone with information to make an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
