Rock guitarist Jake E. Lee was struck multiple times early Thursday in a Las Vegas street shooting, his management said in a statement.
Officers responded to the shooting around 2:45 a.m. and found Lee with gunshot wounds, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement.
The musician was then taken to the hospital, police said. His management said Lee is “fully conscious and doing well” in an intensive care unit and is expected to fully recover.
His injuries were not immediately clear.
No arrests have been made, and the incident is under investigation, police said.
Lee’s management said Las Vegas authorities believe the street shooting was “completely random” and took place when Lee was walking his dog early Thursday.
Lee and his family have requested the public respect their privacy, his management said.
Lee spent time performing alongside Ozzy Osbourne in the 80s and then performed with the heavy-metal group Badlands. He formed the band Red Dragon Cartel in 2013.
