LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A suspect is in custody after Las Vegas police responded to a barricade situation in a southeast valley neighborhood on Friday morning.

According to LVMPD, officers arrived at the scene of a "family disturbance" in the 4900 block of Lana Drive around 5:46 a.m. Officers tell Channel 13 that the situation initially appeared to be "related to domestic violence," though the investigation is ongoing.

At 10:34 a.m., police confirmed a suspect was taken into custody and the situation "came to a peaceful conclusion."

Police previously shut down all north and southbound lanes on Nellis Boulevard, after Harmon Avenue. All lanes have since been reopened.
