The man who was shot Thursday night near Owens and Eastern avenues was identified Saturday morning by the Clark County coroner’s office.
Las Vegas man Tony Lazaro Newberry, 48, died of a gunshot wound to the chest.
The shooting happened about 8:15 p.m. in the 1500 block of North Eastern. Police believe Newberry was shot by his roommate, Charles Redd Jr., after they had an argument. A driver saw Newberry’s body on the road and called police.
Redd was later detained and is now being held at the Clark County Detention Center, facing charges of murder with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
