Las Vegas police Undersheriff Andrew Walsh told reporters in a briefing that a possible suspect had been identified and that investigators were working to find and apprehend that person. Walsh said the suspect and at least one of the victims had been feuding on social media.

Officers on patrol heard gunfire and then found two people lying on the sidewalk, Walsh said. They were pronounced dead at the scene. Police didn’t immediately identify them.
