Man killed by shotgun blast during struggle
Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2000 | 11:55 a.m.
A 28-year-old Las Vegas man was killed Tuesday night during an argument over money in an East Flamingo Road apartment.
Metro Police said Terry Scott kicked in a door of an apartment in the 700 block of East Flamingo Road and threatened the resident in a dispute over money.
Scott returned to the apartment about 8:30 p.m. and found the front door was open because maintenance workers were repairing the damaged door. Scott went into the apartment and grabbed a shotgun that was on a chair, police said.
Scott and a guest in the apartment started struggling over the shotgun. The shotgun fired, hitting Scott in the chest. Scott was taken to University Medical Center, where he died about 45 minutes later, police said.
The case will be forwarded to the Clark County district attorney's office to review for possible charges, police said.
Scott's death is the 72nd homicide so far this year in Metro's jurisdiction, compared with 82 at the same time last year.
