Video reveals details in shooting death of 7-Eleven clerk

In the last moments of his life, Suchinna Revtissamaharamaye was on his knees at the 7-Eleven store where he worked, his hands clasped together as if in prayer.

To the North Las Vegas police detective who viewed the video, the 38-year-old clerk was begging for his life to be spared.

And for a moment it appeared that he might survive the armed robbery March 24.

Jason Miller, the man who police say forced Revtissamaharamaye to his knees at gunpoint, ransacked the store of its money and Newport cigarettes and walked away.

But then Miller turned around, pointed a gun at the pleading man and shot him in the chest several times before running out the door, police allege. The shooting was captured on video by the store's surveillance camera, according to Miller's arrest report filed by North Las Vegas police.

The video also captured a second man, 22-year-old Jerome Bolton, who acted as a lookout during the incident. In Bolton's arrest report, he confirmed to detectives that it was him in the video, and that Miller was the one who shot Revtissamaharamaye.

Miller, 24, denied taking part in the robbery and shooting the clerk, according to Miller's arrest report.

He told detectives he was at the store the morning of March 24 and that he looked over the counter and saw that a man had been shot.

When police confronted him with the video evidence, he continued to make denials.

Before meeting with detectives, Miller had agreed to empty his pockets. Among the items were a partial pack of Newport cigarettes and a set of keys.

A detective who recalled that Revtissamaharamaye's black Honda was still parked in front of the store and the keys to it were missing, took the keys from Miller and went to the victim's car.

The keys opened the doors and trunk of the Honda, and started the car's ignition.

When the detective confronted Miller about how he obtained the car keys, Miller said "a guy" asked him to hold them for him, the arrest report states.

Both Miller and Bolton are being held without bail at the North Las Vegas Detention Center on numerous charges, including murder, robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon.

Neither arrest report states why Revtissamaharamaye was shot.
