Hailey Nieto was 18 when her life ended in March 2023. A Reno native and young mother to two daughters, Luna and Mila, she loved art, makeup, fashion, music and wanted to become a mortician to help grieving families. Friends and relatives remembered her as empathetic and devoted to her children, often taking them to the park.

On March 23, 2023, Hailey’s body was found on a street in a remote area of Cold Springs, northwest of Reno. The Washoe County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide, determining the cause to be a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators quickly identified a suspect, 39-year-old Todd Tonnochy, who left Nevada after the killing; he was arrested on March 28, 2023, in Midland, Texas, and extradited back to Nevada to face charges.

Does anyone who knew Hailey or her routine in Reno have information that could help fill gaps in the timeline around March 2023?
