On October 9, 2022, 19-year-old Dayton Manning was found along the Truckee River path in Reno after reports of gunfire. Officers arrived just after midnight on Museum Drive and discovered Manning suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Reno police arrested two men in connection with the killing: 21-year-old Samuel Garcia-Kleider and 25-year-old Kenneth Rhinehart Jr. Both were charged with murder. Police said the shooting appeared to be an act of revenge, and investigators reported Manning had been a suspect in a separate August 26, 2022, murder at Wingfield Park in Sparks; the suspects in Manning’s death reportedly admitted they shot him in retaliation.

The investigation into the events that led to the fatal shooting remains ongoing. Did anyone see activity along the river path that night or know more about Manning’s movements in the days before October 9?
