Police seek man in connection with Las Vegas bus shooting

Las Vegas police announced they’re looking for a 25-year-old man in connection with a shooting on a bus on North Eastern Avenue near Bonanza Road earlier this month.

Dominic Johnson is wanted by the Metropolitan Police Department. Metro released photos of Johnson on Monday and is hoping somebody will recognize him and provide information about where he might be.

Police said Johnson got on the bus and sat down. As the bus approached a stop, he pulled a handgun and shot the victim several times, then got off the bus and fled, police allege.

The victim was taken to University Medical Center. No update on his condition was immediately available Monday.
