A freeway shooting that stemmed from a “traveling dispute” near McCarran International Airport left one man dead and a woman in critical condition, Metro Police said Monday.
Officers received a report of a shooting in the eastbound lanes of the 215 Beltway near the airport connector at 2:21 a.m. this morning, Metro said in a news release. Responding officers found a crashed vehicle with an unresponsive man with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A woman, also in the vehicle, suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to the release. She was transported to the University Medical Center where she’s listed in critical, but stable condition.
An investigation by homicide detectives found the victims were in a “traveling dispute” with another vehicle on the freeway when they were shot, causing their vehicle to crash into the center median, police said.
Neither victims involved in the shooting were identified. The man who was killed will be identified by the Clark County Coroner’s Office. Police did not release a description for a suspect.
