A man was fatally shot inside his garage in the northeast Las Vegas Valley Friday afternoon.

The shooting occurred around 4 p.m. inside a gated apartment complex in the 2000 block of Los Feliz Street, near East Lake Mead Boulevard, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson.

He said officers found a man in his 40s who had been shot inside his garage. He was taken to University Medical Center where he died.

“We don’t know what led up to the shooting,” Johansson said.

He said a man was seen running from the area where the shooting took place.

“We have stopped somebody, a person of interest, related to this that is possibly our suspect but right now we’re in the process of confirming that,” Johansson said.
