FURTHER COVERAGE
Las Vegas police have released the shocking video of a woman pushing an elderly man with off of a bus on March 21 near Fremont and 13th streets in the downtown area.
The elderly man initially refused medical treatment but went to the hospital later that day. On May 3, police were notified that the man had died from his injuries. The coroner ruled his death was a result of the injuries he received from being pushed.
Homicide detectives took over the investigation and determined a woman had been arguing with people on the bus. When the bus stopped, the victim and woman began arguing after he told her to be nicer and she then pushed him out of the bus.
25-year-old Cadesha Bishop was identified as the suspect and was arrested. She is facing an open murder charge.
The victim was identified as 74-year-old Serge Fournier.
