LAS VEGAS (AP) - A man has been arrested for a deadly shooting that happened during a party at a Las Vegas apartment complex.

Las Vegas police say 21-year-old Anton Louis is charged with murder. He's being held at the Clark County jail.

Police say the shooting happened just after 2 a.m. Friday, while the victim was watching a fight in a parking lot in front of his apartment building on East Twain Avenue.

Derrion Banks was standing on a second-story landing when several gunshots were fired. One of the bullets struck Banks in the chest.

Banks ran into his apartment, where he died of the wound.

A tipster led police to Louis, who was arrested Friday afternoon. It wasn't immediately clear if Louis had an attorney.
