An unidentified man was sought late this week by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) detectives for questioning about a weekend shooting that injured two men near Las Vegas Boulevard.
One of the wounded men was rushed by ambulance to University Medical Center on Saturday night. It was unclear what was the extent of his injures, but it is believed he underwent medical treatment at the hospital.
Updated information on his condition was not immediately available on Wednesday.
A second victim was also wounded by a bullet. He drove himself to a local hospital.
He could speak with police officers a short time after getting injured, suggesting he was less seriously hurt than the first victim.
Officers likely asked him for details about the argument among the men and facts about the shootings.
