LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A fight early Thursday morning has led to one person dead and two suspects on the run, according to authorities.
It happened around 6:19 a.m. in the 900 block of East Sahara Avenue, near Baker Park, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Police were responding to a call of an unresponsive man who had just been in a fight at the above location.
When they arrived, they found the man lying on the ground. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.
