Local Nevada Police Investigates The Death Of Four People At Apartment Complex

As Nevada continues to monitor vote counts for the 2020 presidential election, local authorities are investigating what caused four people to be killed, including an alleged suspect, in a shooting on Tuesday.

At 11 a.m., police officers responded to a call about possible gunfire and someone being wounded, Henderson police Capt. Jason Kuzik informed reporters. When they arrived at The Douglas at Stonelake apartment complex, authorities found two people that had been shot.

In a nearby car, officers located a possible suspect. An attempt to make contact with the alleged suspect resulted in police shooting and killing the individual, Kuzik continued.

Authorities have yet to confirm the identities of the people involved. The condition of a fifth person who was wounded and transported to a local hospital wasn’t immediately known.

The incident occurred west of central Henderson, 320,000 Southeast of Las Vegas.

One resident, Amber Belmonte, stated that she noticed a handful of police vehicles racing into the complex. She then walked outside to see what was going on.

“I started seeing assault rifles, bulletproof vests,” she recalled.

After witnessing SWAT cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and dozens of marked and unmarked police vehicles approach the complex, gunfire rang out, and Belmonte ran back into her apartment. Outside of what occurred that day, Belmonte says the complex is usually quiet and uneventful.

“I imagined the only thing I was going to stress about was the election,” she said.

Additional details regarding the shooting are currently unknown. The investigation is “dynamic and ongoing.”
