UPDATE
We're learning new details from NLVPD about a shooting that occurred on Thursday afternoon at a business in the 1100 block of East Craig Road.
According to NLVPD, a male juvenile and adult female were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the incident.
Officials said that two male suspects approached the male victim. One suspect "attempted to forcibly take a chain from the victim," causing a fight in which the suspect pulled out a gun and fired multiple rounds. The juvenile male victim was hit, as well as a woman who was not involved in the fight.

They were identified as Jesus Lemus Pacheco and Adrian Hernandez. NLVPD noted that both suspects were adults, and were apprehended by police. Stolen property, including a gun officials believe was used during the shooting, was recovered shortly after.
The two men face multiple charges, such as attempted murder, robbery with use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, and other offenses.
