Ryan Lee Snow, an 18-year-old White male, was shot and killed in Cheyenne, Wyoming in the early hours of June 13, 2025. Deputies from the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office responded to the West Winds Mobile Home Community around 12:14 a.m. and found Snow inside a single-wide home on Williams Street with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators described the interior as disordered and said witness accounts initially conflicted. Authorities reported a disagreement between Snow and another young man at the residence that escalated. A .45-caliber handgun and a spent casing were recovered, and suspected narcotics and paraphernalia were also noted during the response.

In the days after the shooting, 19-year-old Nathan Lee Pfaff of Cheyenne, described as a friend of Snow, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; bond was set at $250,000 cash. Two people were initially detained for questioning. Snow’s obituary described him as determined with a great sense of humor and a vibrant personality.

If anyone knew Ryan, was at the West Winds community that night, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what you know.
