North Las Vegas detectives are investigating a Saturday night shooting that killed one man, police said.

About 10:40 p.m., police went to an apartment complex on the 4200 block of North Commerce Street, just south of West Craig Road, after receiving reports of a shooting in the area, the North Las Vegas Police Department said in a Sunday morning news release.

Shortly after arriving at the apartment complex, police received more reports about a shooting between vehicles near Commerce Street and Craig Road.

Police then found a vehicle that hit the median on the 100 block of Craig Road, according to the news release. They also found a man believed to be in his 20s near the vehicle who had been shot multiple times.

Medical personnel took the man to a hospital, where he died, according to police.

Police said the shooting is not believed to be a random act of violence. No information on a suspect or an arrest was available.
