LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — One person is dead, two are in critical condition, and two more are detained after an overnight shooting in east Las Vegas.
It happened at a park in the area of the 4400 block of E Washington Avenue, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
According to Lt. Robert Price, reports of gunfire first came in around 1 a.m., and while officers were on their way to the scene, the call was upgraded to someone having been shot.
When they arrived, officers found three people suffering from gunshot wounds in the basketball court area. Two of those people were taken to University Medical Center, where they are in critical condition, and the third was pronounced dead at the scene, Price said.
During the investigation, authorities learned the victim was sitting on a bench with a woman. At some point, a car pulled up and two teenage boys got out of the car with guns. These two tried to rob one of the victims, and shots were fired.
The suspects ran from the scene in the car but were stopped by police before they left the park.
Authorities said three teenagers have been identified as suspects and will be booked on multiple felony charges, including open murder.
Price said they believe this to be an isolated incident and there is no further danger to the public.
