LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Police have identified and arrested two suspects in connection to a downtown shooting that left one person dead.

It happened around 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 13, in the 200 block of W Utah Avenue, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

According to Lt. Robert Price, a man had been trying to get a hold of his friend and wasn't able to, so he went over to the business where his friend works on Utah Avenue.
