Man shot, killed near Harry Reid International Airport after attempted carjacking<\/a><\/p>\n

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) \u2014 A person was shot and killed near the Harry Reid International Airport on Wednesday afternoon after placing graffiti, running from officers, and possibly attempting a carjacking, according to the Las Vegas Metro police.<\/p>\n

Officers were patrolling in the area around Paradise and Russell roads, when they observed a white four-door Mercedes with spray paint on it at around 1:20 p.m., Lt. Jason Johansson said.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, those officers received a call that a man\u00a0in a vehicle matching that description that was placing graffiti in the area of Maryland Parkway and Tropicana Avenue. The officers then found that vehicle at University Center Drive and Hacienda Avenue.<\/p>\n

When they arrived, the driver had exited the vehicle and was spray painting a wall while wearing a mask. When confronted by officers, he removed his mask and threw his spray paint can down before running away.<\/p>\n

Officers observed that he had a gun in his hand. The suspect went over the barrier onto traffic on\u00a0Paradise Road. He left the officers\u2019 sight shortly before they heard two gunshots.<\/p>\n

When he entered traffic on Paradise Road, he immediately began pointing a gun at passing cars, stopping a silver vehicle. He pointed his gun at the person who was driving the vehicle, a man in his 50s. That driver was armed and shot the suspect.<\/p>\n

The driver appears to be the victim of a possible carjacking, and at this time is not facing any charges, Johansson said.<\/p>\n

Officers found the suspect, described as a man in his 30s, shot on the ground. He was taken to Sunrise Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
