At least two people were fatally shot and three were wounded with non-life threatening injuries Friday in Las Vegas in the area of Charleston Boulevard and U.S. 95 at 5:30 local time, police said.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told ABC affiliate KTNV that the victims were “unhoused.”
Police told KTNV that the victims were shot by the same person who is still at large.
The shooting is not connected to three men who were experiencing homelessness that were fatally shot and may have been targeted by a potential serial killer in Los Angeles, the lead LAPD investigator told ABC News. All three victims were sleeping alone on a sidewalk or an alley when they were killed this week, the LAPD warned at a news conference on Friday.
The cases appear similar but are not related, police said.
