One person was killed and another wounded in a shooting near Decatur Boulevard and Evergreen Avenue early Sunday morning, according to a Metropolitan Police Department release.

Las Vegas police responded to reports of a shooting at about 1:50 a.m. Upon arrival, officers located a vehicle with two people with apparent gunshot wounds.
