A third person is in custody after a fatal shooting in the northeast valley last month.

Veronica Nezey, 54, turned herself in to authorities at the Clark County Detention Center on Monday after a shooting on Jan. 17 that left 34-year-old Kyle Dotson dead.

The shooting in the 1400 block of Helen Belle Drive stemmed from a physical altercation, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

On Jan. 31, 56-year-old David Lynn Coulson was arrested in Los Angeles in connection to the incident. Coulson has been charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and residential burglary.
