Coroner IDs Las Vegas man killed in shooting at mobile home park
A man shot and killed in a mobile home park Sunday morning has been identified by the Clark County coroner.
Las Vegas police responded about 9:30 a.m. to 5139 Ridge Ave., a residence within the Royal Ridge Mobile Home Estate, near Decatur Boulevard and Harmon Avenue, dispatch logs show.
Arriving officers found Dennis Aaron Davis, 33, of Las Vegas lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. Medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene, police said.
Police arrested 67-year-old Peter Caris on one charge of murder with a deadly weapon.
The investigation indicated that Davis and Caris knew each other and had argued after Davis arrived at Caris’ home.
“Caris then fired several shots, striking the victim multiple times,” police said in a statement Monday. “The dispute may have been the result of an earlier encounter between Caris and a friend of the victim.”
This is the 150th homicide investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department in 2016.
