The two women killed and the man Las Vegas police said turned a gun on himself after shooting them Sunday were identified by the Clark County coroner’s office on Tuesday.
The trio were in an argument when Michael Jerome Latimore Jr., 27, of Las Vegas, shot Lakeitha Thomas, 26, of Las Vegas and Lagatha Bell, hometown unknown, 28.
The women were shot multiple times and Latimore shot himself in the head, the coroner said.
Officers were called Sunday to the 1000 block of Lisbon Avenue about 2:30 p.m. and found the trio on a sidewalk, police said. Latimore was in a relationship with one of the women.
