Las Vegas police released Tuesday the video of a woman pushing a 74-year-old man on a bus, asking witnesses to introduce themselves and describe the alleged murder.

The man banged his head on the sidewalk about a yard from the parked bus door, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported, and died about a month later from his injuries.

Witnesses told detectives that the 25-year-old woman, Cadesha Bishop, was shouting insults on the Las Vegas bus late in the afternoon of March 21st.

When Serge Fournier met him in the aisle, the report reviewed by the Review-Journal indicated that he had told her "to be nicer with the passengers". Then she pushed him off the bus with both hands, as shown in the video.

The video surveillance muted published by the authorities shows a man holding a walker or a folded cart. As he approaches the front of the crowded bus, a woman pushes him with both hands toward the door.

According to the report, Bishop walked away without offering help and held his son's hand as they passed Fournier on the sidewalk.

Police said Fournier had refused to receive medical attention at the scene, the magazine reported, but went to the hospital that night. He died as a result of a blunt torso injury on April 23, which caused the coroner to declare his death a homicide.

The court records show that Bishop is accused of murdering an elderly person, the Review-Journal reported. She is scheduled to appear in court next week.
