Suspect arrested in fatal shooting at North Las Vegas apartment complex

A man was killed in a battery in North Las Vegas early Sunday, police said.

Officers responded to a report of an injured person at an apartment complex in the 2100 block of Bassler Street, near East Lake Mead Boulevard and Civic Center Drive, at around 2:10 a.m, according to a North Las Vegas Police Department news release.

“Arriving officers located an adult male suffering from life-threatening injuries as a result of a battery with a deadly weapon,” the release said.

The man was taken to University Medical Center Trauma, where he died. His name hadn’t yet been released.

Any suspects involved in the homicide fled the scene before officers arrived, police said. However, authorities on Monday provided an update that Kateria Catherine Anderson, 28, was identified as a suspect in the incident.

Anderson was booked into the North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center and faces one count of open murder with a deadly weapon, police said in a news release.

The incident was under investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact police at 702-633-9111.
