First of five people killed in North Las Vegas apartment shooting identified

NORTH LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Another victim of a fatal shooting in North Las Vegas this week has been publicly identified.

Kayla Harris, 24, is the first victim officially identified by the Clark County medical examiner.

The coroner's office determined she died from gunshot wounds to the head, neck and chest. His death was ruled a homicide.

A 13-year-old girl was seriously injured in the shooting and was reportedly fighting for her life at a local hospital.

Sal Munoz, who spoke exclusively to Channel 13 on Tuesday, identified four of the victims as members of his family. Among them are his ex-wife Anna, his daughter Amy and his son Christopher. He says the 13-year-old girl is his granddaughter, Olivia.

Five people were fatally injured in the shooting, and the fifth victim had not yet been identified by county authorities or family members as of this writing.

Police identified the shooter as Eric Adams, 47, who they said killed himself when confronted by officers.

Court records reveal Adams was a convicted felon and was not legally allowed to possess a firearm.

His criminal record dates back more than 25 years and includes charges of battery and domestic violence, as well as a prior conviction for illegal possession of a firearm as a convicted felon.
