LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Metro Police have detained at least two people following a double homicide in a northwest valley neighborhood near U.S. 95 and Tropical Parkway.
The incident took place in the 7500 block of Glowing Ember Court on Monday around 4:20 p.m.
Police initially responded to the home after reports of a shooting.
8 News Now I-Team was the first to report that two people had been discovered dead, and multiple people had been shot on Monday afternoon, according to a source.
Once officers arrived at the home, a man described to be in his 20s was found dead in front of the home.
