Metro Police released a video today of the Monday apartment complex shooting near Lake Mead Boulevard and Torrey Pines Drive that killed a Las Vegas teen.
Tiyvone Taylor Mills, 16, died of a gunshot wound in the back at the Portofino Villas apartments, at 6300 W. Lake Mead Blvd., according to the Clark County Coroner's Office.
Officers were called about 9:30 p.m. Monday to the scene and found Mills on the floor of a parking lot, according to a Metro Police news release.
Surveillance video shows three people near the entrance of the complex, and one of the individuals appears to fire a gun.
The suspect fled on foot from the complex with another male of unknown age, according to police.
Police have described the suspect as a male between 16 and 20 years old, and he was last seen wearing a black hoodie with a light shirt and dark pants.
The video footage came from a camera in the Desert Meadows community across the street, police said.
The camera, which was placed in the community about a year ago, sends data to Metro's Real Time Crime Center.
It was installed as part of a joint effort between Metro and residents after a mobile crime camera platform in the area appeared to reduce calls to police about violent incidents, according to Metro.
Anyone with additional information on the Mills case can call Metro's Homicide Section at 702-828-3521 or email [email protected].
