Police officers on patrol in the area "immediately ran towards gunfire, and they found two victims who were laying on the sidewalk suffering from apparent gunshot wounds," the LVPD said.
"Our officers rendered medical aid to both victims, but there’s their efforts to save those victims lives were unsuccessful, and both victims were pronounced deceased at the scene."
A video posted on X shows a police officer performing CPR on someone on the sidewalk.
The police statement said they "believe we have the suspect identified," adding that "the suspect and the victim had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms." It was not immediately clear if Ruiz was the suspect mentioned by police during the earlier briefing.
A YouTuber was livestreaming at the time of the shooting and apparently caught images of a gun being fired, in a video that has been taken down but was seen by NBC News.
The video shows people walking along the busy street as music plays for several minutes, before a man comes into the frame holding a gun and fires at least seven shots.
Police urged anyone with information about the shooting to call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 702-385-5555.
