The man whose body was found in a van outside a Henderson convenience store Wednesday died from stab wounds, according to the Clark County Coroner's Office.
The coroner ruled the death of 30-year-old Pedro Ortega-Vivanco, of Las Vegas, a homicide.
A store clerk at Chevron, 3061 St. Rose Parkway, near St. Rose's intersection with Seven Hills Drive, saw a man with blood on him outside the store about 11:30 a.m., then noticed another man inside a van who also was bloody.
Police arrived to find the man inside the van was dead. The man outside the van was taken to St. Rose Dominican Hospital, Siena Campus.
Police spokesman Keith Paul said both men apparently arrived together in the van, and police believe they were attacked at another location. Authorities don't know where the attack occurred.
