Las Vegas resident Shannon William was pronounced dead at the scene Thursday from a gunshot wound to the chest, the coroner’s office said. Her death was ruled a homicide.
Police were called at 4 a.m. to the Sunset Cove Apartments, 5225 E. Charleston Blvd., after William was shot while trying to collect her belongings from a woman she previously lived with in the complex, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Ray Spencer said at the time.
The shooter was a 43-year-old man, according to Metro homicide logs, which said the case is being investigated as self-defense. The man has not been charged.
