One person was killed and another injured after a shooting at a party in Henderson early Sunday, police said.

Police and fire crews responded to reports of a shooting in the 1100 block of Center Street around 1 a.m. Sunday, the Henderson Police Department said in a news release. The 1100 block of Center Street is east of Lake Mead Parkway between East Sunset and East Warm Springs roads.

Police said that yelling was heard and gunfire erupted before two men, 23 and 22, were shot during the party.

The 23-year-old was hospitalized, and police said Monday he was in “stable condition,” while the 22-year-old was killed at the scene.

Police did not provide a description of a suspect.
