Las Vegas Police Search for Suspects in Hookah Bar Shooting

LAS VEGAS — 

Las Vegas police searched Sunday for suspects a day after after 14 people were shot during a party at a hookah lounge, leaving one man dead and two others critically wounded.

Detectives believe two suspects who they did not identify exchanged gunfire inside the hookah bar and fled before police arrived before dawn Saturday, police said.

Dispatchers received calls at about 3:15 a.m. about multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds after an altercation at Manny’s Glow Ultra Lounge & Restaurant.

Police didn’t immediately provide an update Sunday on a possible motive for the shooting, release new details or provide information about the suspects they were seeking.

The injured people were taken to University Medical Center and Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, but officials on Sunday didn’t immediately provide condition updates about the 13 remaining patients. While police had described the condition of two victims on Saturday as critical, they did not disclose details about the nature of their injuries.

Authorities on Saturday characterized the shooting as an “isolated incident” and said there was no threat to the general public.

Police Capt. Dori Koren said the fatally shot victim will be identified by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.

Investigators at the scene on Saturday interviewed victims, tried to get surveillance video from neighboring businesses and looked for stray bullets and other evidence, Koren said. Crime scene analysts were trying to determine the types of guns used used in the shooting.

Hookahs are water pipes that are used to smoke specially made tobacco that comes in different flavors.

Payment for circular will not apply in Avenidas El Poblado and Las Vegas de Envigado - Medellín - Colombia

In the municipality of Envigado, vehicles with peak and license plate that have paid for congestion will now be prohibited from circulating along the entire length of Avenidas El Poblado and Las Vegas.

This was announced by the mayor, Braulio Espinosa, who said that The measure was taken due to the Metroplús works that will be carried out on Avenida El Poblado, between transversal 27A south and 25th street south, which will limit vehicular flow in both corridors. However, he clarified that in the rest of the roads of the municipality it will be possible to circulate with the payment for congestion.

“From El Poblado Avenue, which has four lanes in its entirety, only one lane will remain in operation entering Envigado. This forces us to rethink the measure that today allows transit in peak and plate, which is the payment for congestion.; the alternate route, a direct consequence of that closure, will be Avenida Las Vegas at the entrance to Envigado; So, we are going to have the entire south of the metropolitan area very congested, because there are two arterial roads”, explained the president of the municipality in the south of the Aburrá Valley.

For his part, the Secretary of Mobility of Envigado, Juan José Orozco, suggested as an alternate route, on highway 43A from south to north, to turn right onto transversal 27A south, to join the sector known as La Paloma, where turn left towards the parallels of La Ayurá (25th street south) in an east-west direction to rejoin the 43A race towards Medellín.
