Las Vegas police investigate woman found shot to death

A woman with a gunshot wound to the head was found dead in the driver's seat of a Lexus SUV Friday morning by her boyfriend.

Las Vegas police Lt. Lew Roberts said a caller contacted police about 7 a.m. to report the incident, which took place in a neighborhood southwest of Dean Martin Drive and Warm Springs Road.

The victim had just dropped her children off at her ex-husband's house when her boyfriend saw her car stopped near the corner of Maulding Avenue and Procyon Street. The boyfriend also called police after finding her body, Roberts said.

A witness reported seeing a small red pickup leaving the scene. There are currently no suspects in the case and no one has reported seeing the shooting, Roberts said.

The identity of the victim is being withheld pending an autopsy and notification of family.

Police encourage anyone with information on the shooting to contact Crime Stoppers at 385-5555 or homicide detectives at 828-3521.
