A late-night disturbance in Spanish Springs, Nevada, on April 25, 2015, ended with the deaths of 19-year-old Ryan Timothy Robins and his 29-year-old brother, Glen Robins. Neighbors on McLemore Court called police after hearing yelling and fighting; a 75-year-old resident went outside and confronted the brothers. Accounts say the encounter escalated, the elderly man and one of his adult sons were attacked, and a 51-year-old son returned armed after hearing his brother’s calls for help.

According to the medical examiner, Ryan Robins died of two penetrating gunshot wounds to the torso; Glen Robins died of multiple gunshot wounds. The 75-year-old was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office investigated and the Washoe County District Attorney’s Office later deemed the shooting a justifiable homicide, concluding the shooter acted in self-defense and in defense of his family members. Did anyone who lived in Spanish Springs at the time witness the disturbance or the moments leading up to it?
