Around 11:40 a.m. Nov. 20, officers were dispatched to a wash located in the 3100 block of South Mojave Road, north of Desert Inn Road, to investigate a report of a man shot.
Arriving officers located a man suffering from a gunshot wound and he was transported to Sunrise Trauma.
The investigation indicated the victim was walking in the wash area when he was approached by two men. The suspects approached the victim and there was a short conversation before one of the suspects shot the victim. The victim was able to call 911 and advised the suspects fled north through the wash after the shooting.
