At around 9:17 P.M. on March 25th, authorities were called out to the 200 block of East Flamingo Road after hearing reports of a shooting. When they arrived at the scene, they found a 17-year-old male suffering from a gunshot wound. Emergency care was given at the scene before the teenager was rushed to the nearby Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center.
Unfortunately, the minor was declared deceased upon arriving at the hospital.
The Las Vegas Metro Police Department is currently investigating what happened. It’s believed that the minor was celebrating a friend’s birthday before the shooting took place. A birthday party for an 18-year-old was occurring in the hotel room where the victim was discovered. As the investigation was ongoing, police discovered that additional party-goers continued to show up to the room, but many of them were never formally invited to the event.
When this started happening, an argument broke out. The fight eventually escalated into the shooting that took place. By the time that the police had arrived, the suspect had fled the area.
Police have classified the minor’s death as a homicide. No arrests have been made, yet. Anyone with any details about what happened is being asked to contact the LVMPD Homicide Section at 702-828-3521.
