Shots fired during suspected robbery in Henderson neighborhood

A man arrested after a Henderson robbery victim opened fire at suspects has been released, police said Tuesday.

Dae’shawn Jackson, 29, was initially taken to the Henderson Detention Center on suspicion of attempted robbery, police said in a Monday afternoon statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

He was later released because of “additional informationed learned during the investigation and conflicting information that was reported,” a department spokesperson said without elaborating.

Henderson police said officers responded to the 2000 block of Olympic Avenue, near the intersection of Sunset Road and Mountain Vista Street, in reference to a shooting. A preliminary investigation revealed that a reported robbery had occurred and the victim fired at the suspects, according to the statement.

Nobody was injured, but two unoccupied vehicles and a building were damaged, police said.

Police did not specify the type of firearm used and the number of suspects involved. A spokesperson said the matter was under investigation and that no other details would be provided.
