On Tuesday morning, a car was shot along Las Vegas Boulevard, killing one of the two passengers inside.

An attacker fired multiple shots into the passenger-side window of the automobile while the couple was inside. The crime site, which was located on East Sahara Avenue, is where the unknown man died.

At approximately 1:40 a.m. on Tuesday, officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) located the victims. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the woman was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center after suffering non-life-threatening injuries.

Although they have not yet disclosed a description of the gunman or a motive for the shooting, LVMPD homicide police were still looking for the culprit as of late Tuesday.

The Clark County coroner's office will probably do an autopsy on the deceased man in order to determine the cause and manner of death and to verify the victim's identity.
