Corey Montrell Saunders, 19, was shot during a confrontation at a south Reno apartment complex on April 26, 2017, and later died of his wounds. Officers were called just before 9 p.m. to The Lodge at McCarran Ranch Apartment Homes at 800 Redfield Parkway, where one wounded victim was found; a second victim was located at the nearby Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que. Both were taken to the hospital, and Corey was among those gravely injured.

Early law enforcement statements said detectives were probing whether a drug transaction played a role, a theory that reflected chaotic movements between the apartment parking lot and the restaurant a short distance away. Investigators canvassed for witnesses and surveillance footage, and the nonprofit tip line Secret Witness offered a reward for information leading to an arrest and prosecution.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the people involved, please come forward to help bring accountability for Corey’s death.
