The shooting happened around 4:25 a.m. on Sunday at the Silver Nugget Casino. The surveillance video shows two black males in their teens or early 20s getting into a fight.

If you look closely at the video, you can see a man in the backwards baseball cap and dark- colored sweater pull a weapon from his waistband.

"The tape's good enough. We thing to we can identify him," said Sean Walker, North Las Vegas police.

Police say one man threw a drink at the other, and that man pulled a gun and started shooting. One man was killed an a woman in her 40s who was playing slot machines was inadvertently shot in her left hand. She was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
