On February 2, a surveillance camera caught the yet-to-be-identified perpetrator shooting and killing James Lewis - a
homeless man sleeping under a bridge, according to coroner's office and the police.
James Lewis' daughter, Oneida Lewis Baker said she had been searching for her boxing-loving father until his death - She told ABC News
She said she wonders why her father was homeless:
"When he has kids and grandkids, a mom and dad still alive, brothers and nieces and nephews and cousins. Why? We absolutely love you and adore you."
"As much as I did to try to find him and I didn't come up with anything, you still shouldn't have [taken] his life," she said. "He still should be here today regardless of if he's homeless or not."
Captain Plummer also confirmed the same gun was used in all four shootings.
“We must stop this man before he shoots and kills someone else," Plummer said.Police confirmed the first shooting was on January 29 at a grocery store in a gas station. The victim however wasn't homeless but was alone.
A second victim was shot in front of a shopping center a few hours later.
That same day a homeless person was shot in the face, police said.
James Lewis was the final victim. On Feb. 2 about 4:16 a.m., video shows a dark-colored SUV drive up and park near where Lewis was found, police said. A man walks up to Lewis and shoots him before running back to the SUV and driving away.
-To target the homeless, a "very vulnerable segment of our society, is cowardly,” Plummer added, according to the Las Vegas Sun.
The suspect was driving what appears to be a Hyundai Tucson SUV, police said.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Las Vegas police at (702) 828-3521.
