Las Vegas police seek help to ID shooting suspect
Police are asking for the public’s help identifying the suspect in a shooting Sunday night near the Strip.
Officers were called to a hotel on the 5000 block of Koval Lane around 9:50 p.m. and found a person with non-life threatening injuries, the Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement Thursday afternoon. The victim was taken to a local hospital.
Police said there was an argument between the suspect and the victim. After the argument, police said the suspect got into “a dark color four door sedan with a large rear spoiler” and fired multiple shots at the victim as he drove by before speeding away. The car is a newer-model “Subaru STI,” police said.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic or Pacific Islander man, about 6 feet tall with long dark hair in a ponytail, police said. He was last seen wearing a white long sleeve shirt, blue jeans and black shoes.
Metro’s gangs section is investigating the shooting.
