The Clark County coroner’s office on Tuesday identified the Las Vegas man who died days after being shot April 7.

Jamie Arnold, 36, was pronounced brain dead at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center on Thursday, four days after being shot in a central valley apartment complex, police said.

His death was ruled a homicide.

The shooting happened just before 5:50 a.m. on the 3700 block of Swenson Street, near East Twain Avenue. When officers arrived, they found Arnold in a parking lot suffering from at least one gunshot wound, police said.

As of Tuesday, police had not made an arrest in the case. Witnesses told police they saw a man in his 20s wearing a black shirt and jeans in the area just before the shooting.

Arnold’s death marked the 41st homicide this year in Clark County and the 29th investigated by Metro, according to Review-Journal records.
