A man was in serious condition Friday night after being shot outside a convenience store in northwestern Las Vegas, said Metro Police.

The shooting occurred about 10: 15 p.m. outside a 7-Eleven store on 870 n. Rainbow Blvd. near Washington Avenue, said police.

The man was shot once in the hand and was transported to University Medical Center with serious but non-life threatening injuries, said Lt. Dan McGrath.

McGrath said investigators believe the shooting may be gang-related. No suspects were in custody, he said.

Witnesses gave only a vague description of the shooter and the investigator may determine if the shooting was captured by the store's surveillance cameras, McGrath said.
