A gunshot wound to the head caused the death of a man whose body was found in a desert area Tuesday morning, according to the Clark County coroner, who ruled the death a homicide.
Carlos Martin Lopez-Ismeria, 25, whose residence was unknown, was found dead in a vacant lot near the 11200 block of Gillespie Street about 7:45 a.m., according to police.
