North Las Vegas police are involved in a barricade situation late Friday involving a suspect in a shooting that left a man dead earlier in the day.

Earlier, homicide investigators were probing a scene at Englestad Street and Bursting Sun Avenue, near Cheyenne Avenue, after a person was found shot in a vehicle just before noon, public information officer Alexander Cuevas said.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
