LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities have identified two people who died after a shooting in the east end of the Las Vegas Valley.

KVVU-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1OKkqoq) that the Clark County Coroner's Office says 32-year-old Alton Bullard Jr., and 25-year-old Aaron Anderson were the victims of a gunman who has yet to be found by police.

Witnesses told police Bullard and Anderson and a third man were standing outside a smoke shop when a fourth man talked to them and walked away. He returned minutes later and opened fire, hitting Bullard and Anderson.

Sgt. Matthew Sanford says police aren't sure of the shooter's or victims' identities and don't know what the shooter's motive was.

Police are searching for a black man in his 20s.

He is described as 5-foot-9 with a slender build.
