On the evening of June 27, 2023, police in Elko, Nevada, answered a call to a home on South 12th Street and found 52-year-old Michael Paschal dead of a gunshot wound. Authorities treated the death as a homicide and opened an investigation into the shooting.

A person of interest was identified as Paul R. Renteria-Tapia. Investigators believed he had left the area and traveled to Utah; a multi-state search led to his location and arrest in West Valley City, Utah. He was extradited to Nevada and booked into the Elko County Jail on a charge of open murder in Paschal’s death.

What details about Paschal’s last known movements or about the events at the South 12th Street residence might help explain what happened that night?
