A man found dead in a central valley park Thursday night was involved in an accidental shooting, Las Vegas police said Friday.

Police responded to reports of a shooting at Palacio Park, 947 W. Lake Mead Blvd., just after 8 p.m. Officers found a man suffering from a gunshot wound near the basketball courts. He was taken to the University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Investigators at the scene learned the shooting took place in a parked car at the park. After speaking to the person who shot the man, they determined the shooting was accidental.

Police said the Clark County district attorney’s office will work with homicide detectives to determine whether charges will be brought against the shooter.

The man’s identity will be released by the Clark County coroner’s office when his next of kin have been notified.

This is the 113th homicide Metro has investigated this year.
