A 21-year-old man shot to death Wednesday morning was identified as Oscar M. Oliveira of Las Vegas.

Oliveira and two other men were in the 5200 block of Industrial Road near Russell Road when rival gang members were seen, said Lt. Wayne Petersen of Metro's homicide unit.

The three men apparently were attempting to leave the area when the rival gang members started shooting at the group. Oliveira was hit by the gunfire, Petersen said.
