Man found dead in downtown Las Vegas
A person who was found shot dead in a car in downtown Las Vegas has been identified by the Clark County coroner’s office as Christian Monthaven, 26.
The Metropolitan Police Department also said Monday it has located and interviewed a person of interest in the investigation, but didn’t identify that individual.
At around 5:35 a.m. on Saturday, a resident of a home in the 200 block of South Ninth Street, near East Fremont Street, called police saying an unresponsive man was in a vehicle behind their house, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Homicide detectives responded and found the man with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The case will be submitted to the district attorney’s office for consideration of charges, police said.
