An 18-year-old Las Vegas teenager found shot to death inside a car at a local park about 3 a.m. Sunday has been identified.

The Clark County Coroner's Office said he was David Alden Miramontes.

Metro Police received several 911 calls about shots fired at Bob Baskin Park, 2801 W. Oakey Blvd., between Rancho Drive and Valley View Boulevard.

When officers arrived they found Miramontes inside a car with a gunshot wound to the head, police said.

Officers also found a man in the parking lot who had been shot in the torso.

Police said that the two men had recently graduated from Spring Valley High School and Clark High School, but did not identify which one graduated from each school.

Witnesses described a car seen at the scene as having custom wheels, a loud exhaust and a painted surface that appeared to change colors. Police said the shooting stemmed from an incident at a party near Lindell Road and Rainbow Boulevard.
