A shooting in Montgomery Village yesterday morning has left a Gaithersburg man dead, Montgomery County police announced today.

Officers responding to the shooting in the 19300 block of Club House Road at 11:38 AM found the victim suffering from several gunshot wounds. They attempted lifesaving measures, but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives determined the identity of the alleged shooter shortly afterward. By 12:15 PM, 20-year-old Oliver Alexis Perez Fierro of Montgomery Village had already been taken into custody. A search warrant executed at Perez Fierro's residence led to the discovery of items linking him to the shooting.
