LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

Police are seeking two suspects believed to have fatally attacked a man at an east Las Vegas apartment complex.

Las Vegas Metro police reported the incident in the 2900 block of E. Charleston Boulevard about 9 p.m. on Friday.

According to Metro, the male victim, whom the coroner's office identified as 37-year-old Kary Wells, was barbecuing with neighbors in the complex's courtyard when he was approached by two other men.

An argument ensued, leading one of the suspects to punch Wells in the face, police said. The suspects fled on foot.

The victim was transported to Sunrise Trauma Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Police described the suspect who punched the victim as a black man in his early to mid 20s with long hair and a tattoo on his neck. The second suspect was also described as a black man in his late teens to early 20s.

Police urge anyone with information on the suspects to contact Metro's Homicide Section at 702-828-3521 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
