    LAS VEGAS ( KLAS ) — North Las Vegas police are asking for the public’s help to identify two people they said were caught on camera leaving a fatally shot teen in a hospital lobby.

    Around 12:30 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 11, officers with the North Las Vegas Police Department (NLVPD) were called to the area of Webb Avenue and Davis Place after reports of gunshots.

    Shortly after the shooting, two masked people reportedly carried a teenage victim — later identified as Demetrius Powell Jr., 14 — to a nearby hospital, left him on the lobby floor, and ran away from the area.
