Terry Ball, a 17-year-old from Reno, Nevada, was shot and killed on February 14, 2017, on Silver Lake Boulevard in the Stead neighborhood.

Family members have expressed frustration over limited communication from the Reno Police Department. Sgt. KC Myers said detectives have been in touch with Terry’s mother, Shanee Ball, and that the department knows the identity of the person who fired the shot. The central unresolved question is whether the shooting was murder or an act of self-defense, and that ambiguity has prevented an arrest or a conclusion to the investigation.

Terry’s death is also recorded by the National Gun Violence Memorial. If anyone witnessed the shooting on February 14, 2017, or has information that could clarify whether this was murder or self-defense, please come forward.
