LAS VEGAS — Police are searching for the man they believe shot and killed a mother early Thursday morning, leaving her young child to go looking for help from a neighbor.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release that a woman was found shot and killed inside her home just before 1:30 a.m. Thursday. Investigators said that the victim was shot by her boyfriend, who fled from the scene before officers arrived.
Officers told KVVU that a 6-year-old boy went to a neighbor’s home and told them his mother had been shot, which prompted the neighbor to call police.
“It appears we had a 6-year-old child who went to a neighbor’s house and advised that ‘mommy’ had been shot,” LVMPD Lt. Dave Valenta told KNTV.
Officers did not identify the victim or the suspect, but said the suspect may have left the scene on a motorcycle, KSNV reported.
