Las Vegas police investigating shooting near the Palms

A man was shot multiple times Monday evening after an argument near the Palms.

The incident started about 7:15 p.m., when two men began yelling back and forth in a shopping center at 4275 S. Arville St., just south of the Flamingo Road intersection, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Kendall Bell said.

Soon after, one of the men arguing went to his car.

While inside, it appears he fired several rounds, hitting the second man, Bell said.

The man shot was taken to University Medical Center’s trauma unit. His condition was unknown as of Monday night.

After the shooting, the suspect in the car drove away. As of late Monday, no suspect was in custody, and police had not yet named or described him.

The investigation was still in progress Monday night.
