Las Vegas police are investigating after a man with a gunshot wound was found dead in the backseat of a vehicle outside a southwest valley gas station. Police were called about 6:20 a.m. Thursday after a woman went into a Terrible’s gas station at 4150 S. Durango Drive asking for help. The man, who appeared to be in his 20s and had suffered at least one gunshot wound to the chest, was in the backseat of her car, police said. Investigators pronounced him dead just before 6:30 a.m. The woman may have been intoxicated, McGrath said. She only provided the man’s street name.
