LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities have identified a 32-year-old man who was found shot dead in the Clark County Wetlands Park earlier this week.

Clark County coroner's officials say Chester Cullen died of multiple gunshot wounds and was found in the park Tuesday afternoon.

Las Vegas police Officer Laura Meltzer says authorities responded to reports of gunfire in the area a little after 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Police found Cullen dead a short time later.

The nature preserve is located on the eastern side of the Las Vegas valley and features a visitors' center and walking paths.
