Coroner IDs man shot at central Las Vegas apartment

The Clark County coroner’s office on Thursday identified a man fatally shot during a fight at an apartment complex.

Bryant Vernon Johnson, 46, died Tuesday at University Medical Center from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the coroner’s office.

Johnson was shot around 2:30 p.m. at an apartment on the 2700 block of East Bonanza Road, near Eastern Avenue, after a quarrel involving several people, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Ray Spencer said at the time.

Detectives believe Johnson and the shooter had an ongoing dispute and the suspect sneaked out a back window after the shooting along with several other people.

Spencer said it was unclear who lived at the apartment.
