Metro Police say a 17-year-old shot during a confrontation in the parking lot of a Las Vegas apartment complex early this morning and died later at the hospital.
At 5:46 a.m. Monday police received several 911 calls reporting a shot fired at the Wellington Meadows Apartment complex at 9550 West Sahara Ave.
Police and emergency medical officials found Johnny Boyd Eagletail with a gunshot wound to his torso. He was taken to University Medical Center where he died from his injuries hours later.
A man at the apartment complex confronted Eagletail and asked about damaged vehicles in the parking lot. The victim allegedly pulled a knife and moved toward the man who fired one shot from the pistol, police said.
The man with the gun remained at the scene and spoke with Metro detectives. He was not arrested. The case will be submitted to the district attorney's office for review.
