A North Las Vegas teen who was fatally shot Tuesday night at a house party in the northwest valley has been identified.
Jayden Collins, 16, died from multiple gunshot wounds and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the Clark County coroner’s office. The Metropolitan Police Department said on Wednesday that Collins was discovered suffering from multiple gunshot wounds following a house party in the 5600 block of North Bonita Vista Street and was declared dead at the scene.
Officers responded just after 10 p.m. Tuesday to reports of a shooting at the residence, near West Ann Road and North Durango Drive, police said in a news release. Arriving officers found Collins in front of the house, and Metro Lt. Robert Price said early Wednesday that a large party had been taking place at the residence.
