The victim of a fatal Friday night shooting in the eastern valley has been identified by the Clark County coroner.

The shooting was called in just before 10 p.m. Friday at the Hamptons, an apartment complex at 3070 S. Nellis Blvd., near Desert Inn Road, Metropolitan Police Lt. Carlos Hank said.

Arriving officers found 36-year-old Michael Mosley suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he died. The coroner ruled the Las Vegas man’s death a homicide, and Metro’s homicide section is investigating the shooting.

Police said the shooting happened after a fight among several women in front of the apartment complex. Several men got involved and one was shot. It appears the people know one another and may be related, police said.

This is the 27th homicide in Clark County and the 23rd in Metro’s jurisdiction this year.
