Authorities have identified two men killed in a quadruple shooting last week in a North Las Vegas duplex and say one suspect in the case is still at large.

The Clark County coroner's office reported 33-year-old Erik Armando Quezada-Morales and 24-year-old James J. Headrick died of gunshot wounds in the shooting about 6 a.m. Thursday. Both men are from North Las Vegas.

Two women were critically injured in the incident. They have not been identified.

Police arrested 31-year-old Ivonne Cabrera on Friday on suspicion of murder but were still looking on Monday afternoon for 22-year-old Jose Gonzales, also known as "Smokey."

Investigators said Gonzales is a Mission Viejo, Calif., native and convicted felon who has been living in Las Vegas for several years. He is considered armed and dangerous.
