A man was found shot in the street of a southwest Las Vegas Valley neighborhood early Tuesday morning.

Gunfire rang out just after 4 a.m. in the 3400 block of La Cura Avenue, near Dean Martin Drive and West Cactus Avenue, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Monique Rodriguez.

Neighbor Javinn Roy Greenwood said he was inside his home nearby when he heard five or six gunshots. He looked out his window and saw a man standing over another man in the street while loading a gun.

“I was sitting there, and I was like what the hell,” Greenwood said.

He had just received a food delivery and was worried that it was connected to the shooting.

“I got so scared,” he said.

Moments later, as he called 911, he said he saw the shooter climb into a black SUV before fleeing the scene.

Officers found a 36-year-old man lying in the road with a gunshot wound. Rodriguez said the victim was taken to the hospital where he died.

The lieutenant said it was likely the victim and suspect knew each other, but declined to provide additional details about their identities.

Greenwood said his brother’s truck and a shingle on their home’s roof were damaged by the gunfire.

“Gunshots were coming from all different angles,” Greenwood said.
