Las Vegas man, 19, victim in fatal Charleston shooting

The Clark County coroner’s office has identified a 19-year-old man who was shot and killed Saturday night in the west valley.

He was Ramond Wilson, of Las Vegas, the coroner’s office said. His death was ruled a homicide due to a gunshot wound of the back.

Wilson’s death was the third fatal shooting investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department on Saturday, officials said.
