A woman suspected in the death of a 74-year-old man who was pushed off a bus is appearing in court Wednesday morning.
Cadesha Bishop, 25, faces one count each of murder, abuse of an older/vulnerable person resulting in death and battery resulting in substantial bodily harm of a victim age 60 or older.
Serge Fournier died about a month after the March 21 incident from complications he suffered after hitting the concrete, according to testimony from a forensic pathologist made public earlier. The incident occurred near Fremont and 13th streets.
Surveillance video shows a woman shoving Fournier off a Regional Transportation Commission bus, then stepping over him as he lay bleeding on concrete.
Police said that Fournier denied medical attention at the scene, but then arrived at University Medical Center later that night because of his injuries.
His family told detectives that Fournier died April 23. The Clark County coroner’s office determined he died from complications of blunt force torso injuries, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Fournier had become something of a staple at the Desert Plaza Senior Apartments at Maryland Parkway and Carson Avenue. He had been living there with his partner, identified only as Esther, since 2004.
The senior living community created a GoFundMe campaign in support of Esther. More than $7,700 had been raised as of Wednesday.
Bishop remained in the Clark County Detention Center on Tuesday with a $100,000 bail, jail records show. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 23.
