Police investigate homicide in west Las Vegas neighborhood

Police said a man was fatally shot Thursday morning in a west Las Vegas neighborhood, and another person was injured.

Officers responded to a report of a shooting at about 4:10 a.m. on the 8200 block of Gilded Crown Court, near Desert Inn Road and Durango Drive, according to Metropolitan Police Department dispatch logs.

Homicide detectives were seen in the neighborhood behind crime scene tape several hours later, as teenagers with backpacks walked to cars and a school bus drove by.

On Friday, police released a statement about the shooting. It said officers who arrived at the scene found “a deceased adult male suffering from a gunshot wound in the doorway of a residence.”

“A second related victim was dropped off at a local hospital and treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound,” police said in the statement.

Detectives learned that a group of people were in a confrontation in front of the residence prior to the shooting, according to the statement.

The victims’ names have not been released.
