The Clark County Coroner’s office on Monday released the identity of a 34-year-old man found dead last week in North Las Vegas.

Jonathan Fernando Tica of North Las Vegas died of multiple gunshot wounds on Oct. 31. His death was ruled a homicide, the coroner’s office said.

His girlfriend, 48-year-old Parichart Hall, who lived at the home, was arrested Thursday and booked into the Las Vegas Detention Center. She faces a charge of murder with a deadly weapon and is being held on $500,000 bail.

About 3 p.m. Wednesday, officers were called to the 4400 block of Summer Glen Lane, near Lone Mountain Road and Decatur Boulevard, to investigate a report of a body. When police arrived, they found Tica’s body.

The death happened well before the police were called, according to North Las Vegas police spokesman Eric Leavitt.
