LAS VEGAS — A 21-year-old man has been arrested following a fatal shooting just east of the Las Vegas Strip, while the official identity of the man killed remains pending in the latest information available.
The shooting happened on September 21, 2026, in the 4600 block of Grand Drive, near East Harmon Avenue and Koval Lane.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police received multiple reports of gunfire at approximately 6:57 p.m. Officers arriving at the scene found an adult man suffering from gunshot wounds in a parking lot.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Argument Reportedly Preceded Fatal Shooting
According to the preliminary account from homicide investigators, two men were involved in an argument before the shooting.
Police allege that one of the men produced a handgun, shot the other and fled the area on foot.
Investigators subsequently identified Andrew Avalos, 21, as the suspected shooter.
Avalos was arrested on September 23, two days after the killing, and booked into the Clark County Detention Center.
Andrew Avalos Faces Murder and Firearm Charges
Avalos was booked on allegations including open murder with the use of a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
The charges represent accusations arising from the investigation. They do not constitute a finding of guilt, and the case will proceed through the criminal justice system.
Police have continued investigating the circumstances surrounding the confrontation and shooting.
Is Kyle Prows the Las Vegas Shooting Victim?
Online information has identified the deceased man as Kyle Prows, reportedly 30 years old.
However, that identification had not been independently confirmed by authorities in the latest information reviewed.
The Clark County Coroner’s Office had not publicly released the victim’s name and indicated that identification would follow notification of next of kin.
Until the coroner, police, the victim’s family or another authoritative source confirms the name, Kyle Prows should be treated as a reported but unverified identification.

The fatal September 21 shooting and the arrest of Andrew Avalos are described in the police information supplied for this report. Avalos faces criminal allegations and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

The online identification of the victim as Kyle Prows, including the reported age of 30, therefore remains unconfirmed.
