Police seek man who shot up bar
Las Vegas police are asking the public for help identifying a man who fired an automatic rifle into Corona Night Club located on Lake Mead Boulevard, near Pecos Road, early Nov. 9.
Police released the surveillance video Saturday, although a lieutenant told the Review-Journal in November there was no surveillance footage. A spokeswoman said investigators were probably trying to follow all available leads before they went public, and it is likely the footage was not discovered until days after the initial report was made.
Just before 7 a.m., the man peeked into the bar and fired several shots before fleeing. No one was injured.
Police said the two men shown in the video entering the bar before the gunman are not connected to the shooting.
Police described the man as being in his mid-to-late-20s, with short hair, standing about 5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighing about 200 pounds.
Anyone with any information about this crime or the identity of the shooter is urged to contact Metro’s violent crimes section at (702) 828-5634, or Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555 or www.crimestoppersofnv.com.
