(KSNV) The manhunt continues for the shooter who caused Thursday's carnage on the Las Vegas Strip that ended up with three people dead.

Police identified Ammar Harris, 26, as the man they believe pulled the trigger and located the black Range Rover at his home at an apartment complex off Flamingo and Paradise.

Police say Harris has an extensive criminal history, including charges of sexual assault, robbery, kidnapping and other charges police say are associated with prostitution.

A source close to the investigation says officers found shell casings that match those used in the shooting and paperwork linking Harris to the Range Rover.

Police say they believe Harris and the driver of the Maserati who was killed, Kenny Cherry Jr., got into a fight in the valet area at the Aria as they were leaving an after-hours party there.
