Ryan Thibault, 27, a white man, died of a gunshot injury to the neck after lingering for weeks in a rehabilitation center in Los Angeles County. His time of death is listed as 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 12.

Thibault is a Henderson, Nev., homicide victim whose death is now counted as a Los Angeles statistic.

According to Det. Dave McKenna of the Henderson police, Thibault was found shot in his garage in Henderson on July 2. He was taken to a hospital in Nevada, and afterward transferred to the rehab facility here, where his condition took a downturn. Henderson police came to Los Angeles this week to investigate, but since Thibault died here, he makes HR’s list. But Henderson will also count him among the dozen or so homicides that occur yearly in that city, McKenna said.
