The Clark County coroner’s office identified the person fatally shot Thursday after a fight among five men.

Lashawn Bickham, 23, died at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center from multiple gunshot wounds, the coroner’s office ruled Tuesday.

Bickham was one of two people shot around 7:10 p.m. in the 3600 block of Cambridge Street, near Desert Inn Road and Maryland Parkway, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson.

Johansson said at the time that three male suspects were outstanding, but it was unclear how many people fired shots.

No arrests had been made as of Tuesday morning.
