A teenage murder suspect is on the run after a man was gunned down during an argument inside an apartment.

Arnaz Jones, 16, is being hunted by police in Las Vegas, who warned he was 'armed and extremely dangerous' and should not be approached.

The victim was shot in the stomach after a 'disagreement' inside the apartment on East Centennial Parkway about 9.05am on Sunday, North Las Vegas Police said.

Police arrived to find Correy Dennis, 33, who knew Jones before the shooting, mortally wounded, and despite treatment at the scene, he died.

Jones fled the scene before police arrived and was identified days later in a public call for help in finding him.

Police said anyone who spotted him should not engage with him in anyway and instead call 911 immediately.

Jones was described as a black teenager standing 5ft, 6in tall, weighing 140lbs with medium length black afro-styled hair and brown eyes.

He was wearing a grey hoodie with designs on the front and back, which was visible in CCTV images release by police.

Police asked for anyone with information about the shooting or that could help locate Jones to contact them.

You all when I was 16 I don't remember any kids doing stuff like this.

Could this be the hostage taker on Freemont Street?

16 isn’t a child.

DM headline ... Killer Child .... 🙄

16 year old is a minor, so yes he is a child or a teen.

However once that child commits murder now he’s going to be tried as an adult

I’m not going to put all the blame on this child, I want his parents charged as well. If they go after the parents of those school shooters then go after his as well.

I know I was expecting this to be like Chucky, a 5 year old or something.

Black kids, like their mamas, have no impulse control.

Maybe in your neighborhood.

In mine we had smooth faced teenagers who would drop bombs down subway grates.

Hey, age 16 is already a hardened juvenile offender.

These are killer children....

You mean like their fathers don’t you...

[pollywog]

that was my first thought!

“You mean like their fathers don’t you...”

No. Not really. When ghetto rats attack clerks, etc., because there’s no ketchup on their burgers, or there aren’t enough fries in the order, it’s almost always the women.

A 16-year old is not a “child.”

[Governor Dinwiddie]

He's isn't a child. He is a strapping black buck, a demon from hell. He needs to be put down pronto.

Silly negroes.

Same here…..

Every 16 y/o I have known would be quite annoyed at your calling them a child. Age description of a person goes infant, toddler, child, tween, teen, young adult, adult. This guy was definitely past the child, tween, and nearly through the teen stage. Young adult and teen often intersect.

NOT a child.
