A man who was shot and killed behind his home was identified Friday by the Clark County coroner’s office.
Christopher Masters, 48, died Tuesday in the alley behind the 3700 block of Royal Crest Street from a gunshot wound to the torso, according to the coroner’s office.
Officers were initially called at 3:53 p.m. after a report of a shooting and found Masters suffering from gunshot wounds, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson.
Investigators believe two men were in a fight in an alley between Royal Crest and Hazelwood streets, near UNLV, when one man shot the other, Johansson said. The shooter ran off.
No arrests had been made as of Friday.
