Kylee Leniz was 16 and working the drive-thru at a McDonald’s in Elko, Nevada, on the evening of November 1, 2020, when a man approached the window and fired a single shot at about 9:30 p.m. She was taken to Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital and later died of her injuries. Authorities described the attack as appearing random, saying they found no connection between Kylee and the shooter.

Investigators released a surveillance image and identified a person of interest as 24-year-old Justin Michael Mullis of Winnemucca. The day after the shooting an acquaintance drove Mullis to the Elko Police Department; he was interviewed, taken into custody, and charged with one count of open murder and booked into the Elko County Jail. The Elko community created a makeshift memorial at the McDonald’s for the well-liked high school student.

Did anyone who knew Kylee or who was in the area that night see something that could help clarify what happened?
