Coroner IDs woman found shot dead in van in North Las Vegas

Authorities have identified a 19-year-old woman who was shot to death in her van in a North Las Vegas park.

The Clark County coroner said Monday that Paula Marie Davis of North Las Vegas was pronounced dead from multiple gunshots to the head.

North Las Vegas police Officer Eric Leavitt says investigators believe Davis knew her killer, but no arrest was immediately made after she was found Friday night.

Leavitt says Davis' family reported her missing and tracked her cellphone to Desert Horizons Park where her body was found.
