On the night of October 27, 2019, during Reno’s annual Zombie Crawl, 22-year-old Luis Torres-Mederos was shot on a downtown street outside a casino after an encounter with Juan Carlos Hernandez. Torres-Mederos had been using Hernandez’s phone to arrange a ride when Hernandez shot him. Private security detained Hernandez until Reno police took him into custody.

Torres-Mederos was taken to a local hospital with critical injuries and died three days later on October 30, 2019. Hernandez was identified at the scene as Arthur Fleck while dressed as the Joker. He was charged in connection with Torres-Mederos’s death and later tried and convicted of second-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon; the court imposed a life sentence with the possibility of parole.

Does anyone have information about Torres-Mederos’s activities that night or witnesses who saw the confrontation outside the casino?
