On the evening of April 21, 2006, Omar Martinez, also known as Omar Chinchilla, was fatally shot while sitting in a car with a female companion in the parking lot of a Scolari’s supermarket in Sun Valley, Nevada. A gunman reportedly approached the vehicle, opened fire, and then fled behind the grocery store; the female passenger survived and was a key witness. The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office responded and opened a homicide investigation, but no suspect description was publicly released.

Despite an extended investigation and the case appearing on the Sheriff’s unsolved homicides list, no arrests have been announced and the killing remains unresolved. If anyone was in the Sun Valley Scolari’s parking lot that night or has information about who might have fled behind the store, please come forward.
