The Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) Violent Crimes Detectives conducted a preliminary investigation and their findings indicate that the victims and their assailants may have been involved in a verbal altercation with a group of people prior to the shooting and that the shooting was not a random act of violence.

It appears that the shooting resulted because of an ongoing dispute between the suspects and the two people injured.
