Updated July 16, 2019 - 4:09 pm

Three men were taken into custody after a victim was injured in a shooting early Tuesday east of downtown Las Vegas.

The shooting happened about 1:15 a.m. when a man, who was walking near 28th Street and Stewart Avenue, was struck at least twice in an exchange of gunfire after a newer white pickup pulled into the intersection, said Metropolitan Police Department Lt. David Gordon. The pedestrian was taken to University Medical Center with survivable injuries, Gordon said.

The vehicle fled north on 28th Street but was later found parked in an alleyway on the 2900 block of Stewart.

Three men were taken into custody at a nearby apartment complex shortly thereafter, Gordon said.

No other details were available.
