On November 22, 2015, in Reno, Nevada, a dispute at a triplex on East Grove Street escalated into gunfire that left 45-year-old Mathew Grows dead. After an argument with neighbors, Grows returned to his apartment and came out armed with a .45 caliber pistol and multiple loaded magazines. He shot and seriously wounded two people in the yard, and one victim was found with a gunshot wound to the abdomen near a nearby 7-Eleven.

Reno police officers arrived as more shots were fired and encountered Grows in the triplex driveway moving toward three unarmed civilians while holding a pistol. Officers in uniform ordered him to drop the weapon; when he raised the firearm toward the civilians, two officers fired and struck Grows. He was taken to a hospital and later died. The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office investigated, and the Washoe County District Attorney concluded the officers’ use of force was justified, identifying Grows as the sole instigator.

Did anyone in the area witness the initial argument on East Grove Street or see what happened in the yard before officers arrived?
