LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas Metropolitan Police were investigating early Sunday morning a shooting that left one person dead and another injured on the Las Vegas Strip.
At approximately 3am, police responded to the Hawaiian Marketplace on the Las Vegas Strip after reports that a person had been shot at a business.
Officers arrived at the scene and located the victim, identified as Darrell White Jr., who was then transported to University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Police believe the victim got into an argument with the suspect, 25-year-old Malik Frost. At some point in the argument, Frost took out a handgun and shot White in the chest.
As Frost was fleeing the area, some members of the group accompanying White followed Frost and one of the men threw rocks at him, striking him on the head.
Frost ran back toward the group and began shooting. William Mallory was shot four times and Nolan Newbury suffered a graze wound. Mallory was transported to Sunrise Hospital where he underwent surgery.
Frost was transported to UMC for his head injury, and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of open murder and attempted murder.
