The Clark County coroner’s office has identified a man who shot a woman and then killed himself last week after a standoff in North Las Vegas.
Police said 58-year-old Alfonso Diaz shot a woman during a domestic dispute at a home on the 5600 block of Tropic Breeze Street, near Ann Road and Bruce Street.
SWAT responded to the scene after Diaz barricaded himself inside the home, but when they entered they found him dead from a gunshot wound. The coroner’s office ruled his death a suicide.
The injured woman, who was not identified, was hospitalized with serious but survivable injuries.
