The Clark County coroner’s office on Tuesday identified the man shot at bus stop in east Las Vegas in November.

Nicolas Thomas, 30, died of a gunshot wound to the chest, according to the coroner’s office. His death was ruled a homicide.

Thomas was shot around 2:50 a.m. Nov. 18 at Boulder Highway and Nellis Boulevard before he ran into Sam’s Town to report he had been shot. He died that day at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, police have said.

Police have since identified 23-year-old Wattsel Rembert as a suspect in Thomas’ death.

A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that another man had been arrested in Thomas’ death.
