Following an intense investigation into the fatal shooting that rattled the Spring Valley neighborhood, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) detectives have made a headway with the arrest of a suspect, identified as 24-year-old Anjele McCullough. In an update provided by LVMPD, McCullough was apprehended on Monday, and is currently held at the Clark County Detention Center, facing charges of open murder with a deadly weapon and other felonies.

The incident, which unfolded on Sunday, led to the discovery of two men with gunshot wounds in a parking lot near a business on South Jones Boulevard. Regrettably, the medical team's response to transport the victims to the hospital was not enough to save one man, pronounced dead shortly after. The name of the deceased, as well as the cause and manner of death has not been released yet, pending information from the Clark County Coroner’s Office. Detectives had determined that the shooting took place during a group altercation, which rapidly escalated when, an unknown male, now identified as McCullough, fired into the crowd.

While the LVMPD has not divulged many details surrounding the victims involved in the incident, it is known that the altercation and subsequent shooting occurred in the vicinity of the Secret Lounge and Restaurant, according to an earlier report by Hoodline. The area was quickly cordoned off by authorities, although the event did not notably interfere with traffic around the active crime scene.

The investigation remains ongoing. Las Vegas police are still actively scrutinizing the evidence to construct a complete narrative of the events that transpired on that fateful evening. The LVMPD urges anyone with information about the incident to come forward, providing contact details for their Homicide Section and Crime Stoppers, as anonymous tips can be key in further understanding the scope of this tragedy. Meanwhile, local residents and businesses are advised to remain vigilant and to extend their full cooperation to law enforcement in the wake of this incident.
