It just escalated. Maria Guzman, a tenant next to the apartment where crime scene investigators spent Friday morning gathering evidence inside the unit and on its balcony, said that they were all drinking.

Guzman said that they told him to bring my nephews in or someone would go to jail. “I brought them all in. They pushed the door open.

Before taking her children to school, a woman stopped to talk and said that she saw at most 10 people drinking on the balcony. Then fighting began and then shooting.

Outside a second-floor apartment, Nikki Paskevicius stated that everyone was intoxicated. “First, two people were fighting head-to-head. Then, someone intervened with a gun.

Paskevicius claimed that she heard eight shots, three, two, and then three more.

Guzman described the event as a tattoo party. Although she declined to identify the cause of the gunfire or the identity of the victim, Guzman said that he was in his twenties.

She claimed that her cousins and nephews had been injured in various places, including the face, chest, back, arm, and foot. She declined to give their names.

The gunfire broke out during a dispute between neighbors at 11:25 p.m. Two of the injured were taken to hospital while two others were in critical condition, according to police.

According to Officer Aden OcampoGomez of Las Vegas Police, at least two people were involved in gunfire. At least one suspect is still being sought. The suspect was only described as an adult wearing dark clothing, last seen in the past.

OcampoGomez stated that he didn’t know if any of those wounded were suspects in the shooting.

Lamar Isaac, a Las Vegas Strip hotel clerk, stated that he pays more than $500 per week and has lived in the complex for three-years. He claimed he was awakened from a series gunshots and that he thought more than one gun had been fired.

The manager of the complex office refused comment and sent a reporter to leave the premises.

According to records, the complex contains 330 apartments in 10 buildings of two- and three-story heights. It is located east of the Las Vegas Strip, close to the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

This shooting occurred less than one week after gunfire claimed the lives of a 33-year old man and injured 13 others during a private party at a hookah bar in a busy commercial area east of the Strip.

Lee Frank Wilson (44), was one of the wounded and was taken into police custody on murder and attempted murder charges. Additional arrests are possible, according to police.

On Thursday, Wilson was ordered to remain in jail without bail. The judge noted that Wilson is a felon who has been arrested 82 times in 1995 and had served a sentence in prison following his 2019 shooting conviction.

Josh Tomsheck Wilson’s lawyer stated that Wilson intends to plead not guilty.
