26-year-old man shot to death at west Las Vegas residence ID’d
The Clark County coroner’s office has identified a man shot and killed Thursday morning in a west Las Vegas neighborhood.
He was 26-year-old Bryant Furgeson, the coroner’s office said. His death was ruled a homicide due to a gunshot wound to the chest.
Furgeson was shot during a confrontation that left another person injured at a home on the 8200 block of Gilded Crown Court, a residential area near Desert Inn Road and Durango Drive, the Metropolitan Police Department has said.
Police were called to the home about 4:10 a.m. Thursday, and found Furgeson in the house’s doorway suffering from a gunshot wound. He died at the scene, police said.
Another person was dropped off at a local hospital with nonlife threatening injuries from a gunshot wound, police said.
Detectives determined several people were staying at the home, and the shooting happened after a group of people “were in a confrontation” in front of the house, Metro said.
It was unclear Tuesday if police have identified a suspect or suspects.
