Metro seeks man, woman after Wal-Mart beating death

Las Vegas police are asking the public to help identify a man and a woman they say were involved in a beating death at a Wal-Mart parking lot.

It happened when two men started fighting about 3 p.m. Wednesday outside the retail store at 4505 W. Charleston Blvd., Metro said Tuesday in a news release. The passenger in a car, a man, got out of a car and started beating a driver in another car.

The man who got beat up returned to a local hotel where he was staying, police said, and later was taken to Spring Valley Hospital, where he died Monday from his injuries.

The man police are looking for is described as an African American in his 20s, about 160 pounds and 5-feet-10-inches tall, the release said.

He and the female driver were last seen driving a mid-2000s model silver, four-door Hyundai Elantra.
