Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Las Vegas Metro Police are asking for the public's help to find two suspects wanted in an incident at the MGM Grand early Friday.
The investigation initiated by the LVMPD Gang Detectives determined a group of people had been involved in an argument inside of the casino. Two individuals broke away from the group and walked towards the elevators, where one of them pulled out a handgun. A good Samaritan noticed the armed individual and attempted to disarm him.
As they struggled over the weapon one round was fired and the handgun was dropped. The Samaritan picked up the handgun and turned it over to an arriving security officer as the suspect and the second male fled from the area.
The suspect is described as a Black male, thin build, 6’0”, last seen wearing a dark shirt, baseball hat, whitewashed pants and white shoes.
Detectives are also seeking to identify a person of interest who accompanied the suspect. He is described as a Black male, thin build, approximately 5’8, dreadlock hair in a ponytail with colored tips, goatee and was last seen wearing a light-colored shirt and blue jeans with white shoes.
