Coroner names woman killed in North Las Vegas shooting
The Clark County coroner’s office has identified the woman killed in a North Las Vegas shooting on Jan. 10.
She was Joanna Cocette Mickens, 47, and the coroner’s office said she died of a gunshot wound to the chest. Her death was ruled a homicide.
Officers were called to the 3100 block of North Pecos Road about 3:20 a.m. on Jan. 10 in response to a shooting, North Las Vegas police said at the time. They found two people shot, a man and a woman. Both were taken to University Medical Center.
Mickens died at the hospital and the man remained in critical condition as of Monday morning, about a month since the shooting, police spokesman Alexander Cuevas said.
Investigators do not believe the shooting was a random act of violence.
“The detectives are working all leads as they come in,” Cuevas said in a text Tuesday. “To help protect the integrity of the case, there is no suspect information at this time.”
