Man shot to death after fight in downtown Las Vegas

A man fatally shot another man after getting into a fight with him at the corner of 21st Street and Stewart Avenue in downtown Las Vegas on Saturday night.

The homicide occurred at 7 p.m. and the victim was pronounced dead at University Medical Center trauma, said Lt. Ken Romane, a watch commander with Metro.

Homicide detectives were investigating as of 9 p.m., and had the crime scene cordoned off.

No ages, names nor motive were immediately disclosed, and a suspect was still on the loose, Romane said.
