LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — North Las Vegas police say the search is on for a suspect in the stabbing of three men in the skate park area of Craig Ranch Regional Park.
According to a news release, detectives don't believe the attack was a "random act of violence" and are currently working on all available leads.
On Nov. 12 at 2:09 p.m., NLVPD responded to the park and located three males (aged 18, 23 and 40, according to police reports) suffering from various injuries.
Metro has released three 911 calls related to the incident, in which many witnesses detail the events of the fight that broke out at Craig Ranch park.
In the first call, a victim who was stabbed in the stomach can be heard telling the operator he was stabbed in the skate park.
In the second call, the brother of another victim calls for a medical unit after his brother had been stabbed.
In all, three people called for help around 2 p.m. on Saturday from Craig Ranch Park.
Police say a preliminary investigation revealed a fight broke out between two groups and, during the fight, an unknown individual stabbed the three males before fleeing the scene prior to police arrival.
Two of the three victims have been treated and released from UMC, according to North Las Vegas police. The third victim has been listed by hospital officials as "in stable condition," but has not yet been released.
Cynthia Delgado has lived in North Las Vegas for more than 20 years. She is now on high alert when it comes to the safety of her children.
She told KTNV, "It is terrifying. I have a 2-year-old, who I could have let go to the park and let him do whatever, but now I'm just like, how can you?"
Carla Fulton, a mother who lives close to the park and brings her little one often to play here, still feels anxious about her children’s safety, despite police saying the incident was “isolated.”
"It happened so close to my house, and it's another stabbing," Fulton said. "It sucks that this is happening, and people are stabbing others out of nowhere."
Delgado says she is keeping a closer eye on her children.
"It is kind of scary. I want to have my husband around because now you are on the lookout for who's coming, what's happening," she said.
