Wiggins shared that officers were notified about a stolen vehicle around 5:37 p.m. near the area of Flamingo Road and Linq Lane.
The vehicle was found by Metro officers, who attempted to stop it before it fled at a high rate of speed, crossing into oncoming traffic a number of times and nearly causing collisions across the city, Wiggins said.
The vehicle finally stopped in the 500 block of Miller Avenue, where three suspects exited and ran away on foot.
Wiggins shared that one suspect was armed with a firearm.
That individual was issued commands by LVMPD to drop the firearm. When he did not comply, officers fired and the suspect was struck.
The suspect with the firearm was later pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.
No officers were injured, Wiggins said. All three suspects are in custody at this time, and there is no threat to the public.
Additional information will be available following a period of 72 hours.
