Metro Police are asking for the public's assistance in finding a suspect who fled the scene of a fight after killing a man.
Around 7:10 p.m. Saturday night, Metro officers were flagged down by residents in the 4300 block of North Nellis Boulevard and were told a fight had just taken place in a desert area behind a convenience store.
Officers located a male lying down in a bush. Medical personnel responded and declared him deceased at the scene.
Based on an investigation by Metro's homicide section, the suspect is described as a Samoan or Hawaiian male adult between 20-30 years old who was last seen wearing a green shirt, tan shorts and flip-flops.
