Homicide detectives are investigating a shooting Tuesday in the central Las Vegas Valley that left a man in “extremely critical condition.”

The shooting happened about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday on the 1400 block of North 23rd Street, near Owens and Eastern avenues, according to an email from Metropolitan Police Department homicide Lt. Ray Spencer.

The man shot was taken to University Medical Center, where he was in “extremely critical” condition on Tuesday afternoon, Spencer said during a briefing outside the scene.
