NORTH LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — North Las Vegas police said they were investigating a shooting on Sunday night that killed three people and sent another person to the hospital.

According to Officer Aaron Patty of the North Las Vegas Police Department, officers responded to a shopping center on the southwest corner of West Lake Mead Boulevard and Simmons Street, where a shooting had occurred.

Three people, two women and a man, were found “down,” Patty said, and later were pronounced deceased. A fourth person, a man, was found injured and was taken into surgery at UMC Trauma.

Patty said they believe there is at least one shooter, who had not been identified and was still outstanding at the time of the media briefing at 10:30 p.m.

Police said the victims were ages 31, 52 and 20 and 26. Friends and family identified the deceased as a mother and her two adult children. The 26-year-old survived the shooting with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

The crime scene is on the border of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police’s jurisdiction, and Patty said their officers were assisting in the investigation.

Patty said detectives do not believe the shooting to be random at this time, yet have not established a motive.

The crime scene was very fluid, with dozens of patrol units on scene Sunday night. Detectives and CSI were expected to be on scene for several hours.

The identities of the deceased will be released by the Clark County Coroner’s Office after next of kin has been notified.

Anyone with information was encouraged to contact the North Las Vegas Police Department.
