An unidentified man was sought late this week by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) detectives for questioning about a weekend shooting. That incident injured two men near Las Vegas Boulevard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the wounded men was rushed by ambulance to University Medical Center<\/a> on Saturday night. It was unclear what was the extent of his injures, but it is believed he underwent medical treatment at the hospital.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Updated information on his condition was not immediately available on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

A second victim was also wounded by a bullet. He drove himself to a local hospital.<\/p>\n

He could speak with police officers a short time after getting injured, suggesting he was less seriously hurt than the first victim.<\/p>\n

Officers likely asked him for details about the argument among the men and facts about the shootings.<\/p>\n

Started as Dispute<\/h2>\n

The gunfire took place at about 9:52 p.m. near the intersection of Spring Mountain Road and Las Vegas Boulevard. The crime scene is a short distance from Treasure Island & Casino.<\/p>\n

It appears that the two men initially got into a dispute with the suspect. Tensions escalated and the suspect then displayed a handgun.<\/p>\n

He shot each of the victims and fled from the Strip, according to initial information provided from the LVMPD\u2019s patrol division.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is unclear what led the men to get into the argument, Las Vegas TV station KVVU <\/em>reported over the weekend. It was also unclear if the two men knew the shooter before the violence broke out.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, LVMPD officers posted photos on Twitter of the suspect.<\/p>\n

Officers are asking the help of the public in identifying the suspect and help on gathering evidence on the shooting.<\/p>\n

The case was taken over by LVMPD Convention Center patrol detectives. Detectives searched the area around the shooting for physical evidence and possible witnesses.<\/p>\n

Police did not release the names nor ages of either of the victims.<\/p>\n

Description Released<\/h2>\n

The suspect is a man wearing a teal shirt, white sneakers, and black shorts at the time of the shooting, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal<\/em>. Teal is a shade of greenish blue.<\/p>\n

The suspect was last seen heading west on the north side of Spring Mountain Road.<\/p>\n

\n

He was spotted near an RTC bus stop in front of a Neiman Marcus store at the Fashion Show mall,<\/a> the Review Journal<\/em> reported. The mall is located about a mile from the crime scene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The suspect did not appear to have suffered injuries during the confrontation. There is no indication police are seeking additional suspects in the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
