A 39-year-old man is dead following a late-night dispute that turned violent, a Metro Police spokesman said.

At about 1:30 a.m. today, police were called to a fight in the 8700 block of Harvest Valley Avenue, near Durango Drive and Cheyenne Avenue, Sgt. Rocky Alby said.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers found a 39-year-old man who wasn't breathing. He was transported to MountainView Hospital, where he died as a result of his injuries, the report said.

The man is cooperating with investigators and has given a statement to homicide detectives. The case, once completed, will be submitted to the Clark County District Attorney’s office, the report said.
