Las Vegas police identified Fernandez-Morales, 34, and Hernandez, 49, as suspects in the Tuesday night shooting in a desert area near Boulder City. A 30-year-old man told police he was picked up from his home by three men. They drove him about 11 p.m. to the desert south of a business on the 14500 block of South U.S. Highway 95, told him to get out of the car and shot him, police said. He then told police he wandered the desert for several hours before speaking with an employee at the business.

He was then hospitalized.
