Roger Kelly, a 50-year-old truck driver from Oregon working for Scott Transportation, was shot dead in Fernley, Nevada, on the evening of January 9, 2000. He had parked his Kenworth in a dirt lot next to the Best Western and was found near the hood of his truck with a single gunshot wound to the chest after being seen working on the engine with a flashlight.

Investigators say the assailant approached while Kelly was outside the vehicle, fired once and fled, leaving behind a crudely manufactured long gun with a handgun grip. Forensic testing, including work by the FBI, produced no usable DNA or fingerprints. Witnesses reported seeing a suspicious white male in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 11 inches and 135 to 155 pounds, near the scene. A possible earlier dispute at a Wells fueling station and a small video poker win that day led to speculation about being followed or a robbery motive, but that has not been confirmed.

No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Roger, saw him that evening, or has information about the person seen near the truck, please share what is known.
