A man was stabbed to death during an argument Tuesday night in the southeastern Las Vegas Valley.

Las Vegas police homicide Sgt. Jon Scott said officers were called about 9 p.m. to the 6000 block of Clark Street, near Boulder Highway and Russell Road, after a man was suffering from multiple stab wounds.

“That individual was transported to Sunrise Hospital, where soon after arrival he was pronounced deceased,” Scott said.
