Karysma Jenkins, 30, was shot and killed in Reno in the early hours of March 13, 2022. She and about 15 people were on a party bus that had stopped outside the Peppermint Hippo Strip Club when a man, identified as Julian Hamilton, approached and opened fire. Hamilton recognized one person on the bus as someone involved in a years‑old altercation in which he had been shot; prosecutors say he had been contemplating revenge and seized the opportunity to ambush the group.

Jenkins was sitting in front of the intended target and was described as an unintended victim. The party bus carried three gunshot victims to Renown Medical Center; Jenkins was declared dead on arrival. Two others survived with serious wounds, including a femoral artery injury that required surgery.

Police identified and arrested Hamilton. At sentencing the prosecution framed the killing as aggravated first‑degree murder by a violent career criminal; Hamilton received an aggregate prison term of 42 to 108 years. Jenkins is survived by her daughter, mother, and sister, who spoke at the sentencing. Does anyone have information about Jenkins or the night of March 13, 2022 that could add context to what happened?
