Guitarist Jake E. Lee, known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, Badlands, Cinderella, and Red Dragon Cartel, was shot multiple times in Las Vegas on Tuesday, according to his spokesperson.
The 67-year-old musician was shot early Tuesday morning but remains “fully conscious and doing well in an intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital,” his spokesperson Amanda Cagan confirmed in a statement to The Times. “He is expected to make a full recovery.”
Authorities in Las Vegas believe the shooting was “completely random” and occurred while Lee was out walking his dog.
“As the incident remains under police investigation, no further comments will be made at this time,” Amanda Cagan stated. She added that Jake E. Lee and his family appreciate the public's understanding and request for privacy during this period.
Officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to reports of a shooting at 2:42 a.m. on Tuesday in the 11000 block of Alora Street, located roughly 10 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found a male victim, later identified as Lee, suffering from gunshot wounds. He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, the department confirmed in a statement to The Times.
No arrests have been made yet, and the investigation is ongoing, according to police.
