Three people were killed and a fourth was wounded when gunfire erupted outside a North Las Vegas business Sunday night, according to city police.

Detectives late Sunday were searching for at least one shooter, North Las Vegas Police Officer Aaron Patty said. A motive wasn't clear, but preliminary details suggest the shooting may not have been random, he added.

Officers and medics about 8:40 p.m. responded to the southeast corner parking lot on Simmons Street and Lake Mead Boulevard, and found the three fatal victims, two women and one man, Patty said.

A fourth victim, a man, was taken to University Medical Center where he was expected to recover, Patty said late Sunday.

The shooting occurred on a populated shopping center, therefore police are asking anyone who witnessed anything to call them, Patty said.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 702-633-9111. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or crimestoppersofnv.com.
